trailer failure

Post by daver360 »

After looking at used trailers for a while and thinking about buying a brand new venture trailer in Tacoma because of rust. I had to bring get my boat out of the water due to the starter quitting on my Suzuki 70. After a long wait for a tow and getting it on the trailer the axle broke going down the road. Luckily it just damaged the boat (1000 dollar repair) and I had AAA plus RV. If your thinking about buying a trailer, just do it and don't wait till it costs a lot more. When the trailer gets old and rusty, it will snap like a pencil.

I ended up with a brand new King trailer I really like. Thanks guys from Boatland, (trailer) AAA, Hansons and Dicks towing, Vessel Assist, (waited 6 hours) and Everett Yacht service (fiberglass repair) and Performance marine (starter) from Everett Wa. Im back in business!

Thanks, dave
