A friend e-mailed the other day and forwarded a post from a Smith Mountain Lake fishing forum. Gander Mountain has 5 12-14' boat trailers that have a defective coupler. They were attached too far back on the tongue when they welded them; thus, the coupler would not attach to a ball.
They are $599 trailers and they are selling them for $200!! I went bought one yesterday.
We'll cut the welds and re-attach the coupler. The paint on these trailers was not the best and surface rust has appeared. A little sanding and primer and a nice new coat of black oil-based Rust-Oleum should take care of it. It should haul the Sea King just fine.
Structurally the trailers are good, just need a little TLC. I'll need to install a jack. If you live anywhere near Roanoke, VA they are a good deal. 4 left.......
I'll post a pic when I get the coupler fixed.
