    New Trailer prices?

    Starcraft hull parts?

    Does anyone know of an online source or phone number for Starcraft marine? I need some parts to repair a Starcraft hull and so far every dealer I've called either doesn't do boats or doesn't do parts. Including four listed in the dealer search. None of which are anywhere near me. I find it odd...

    Ingenious I/O fix....

    I wasn't sure where to post this but I figured those here would best appreciate this. Yesterday was definitely one of the times where I wished I owned a camera phone.

    Starcraft hull damaged

    I picked up a 16' Starcraft, closed bow hull, today. A local scrap guy was making his rounds and had asked how he could go about picking up a boat that was on the ground, or if he could borrow a trailer. I loaned the guy a trailer provided he brought the boat to me not the scrap yard first...

    An elderly neighbor of mine has a Load Rite roller trailer which he bought new in 1999 and never used. He brought it home, slid it under a project boat in his garage and took sick soon after. He's been talking about selling off the boat and the trailer. I think he realizes that the project boat...

    NJ Trailer registration - New rules???

    For years in NJ all you had to do to register a home made trailer was to state the weight and number of axles and get a tag. Now all of a sudden they need a notarized statement and receipts for all parts and you need a certified weight slip from one of three private scales to get a tag? I tried...
