scissor trailer

#1 Post by JLester273 » Sun Feb 25, 2018 3:24 pm

Hey is there anyone in or around Cincinnati that would help me get a boat. I have a bunk style trailer. With my boat on it. So I either have to set it off and go get this one or find a scissor style to borrow/rent.

Hoping someone around here will help me move it so I can rebuild it instead of my other one.

If I were gonna buy another pontoon boat I wouldn't buy it without the trailer...specifically a bunk style...they're called "knuckle draggers" for a reason....

I'm redoing a pontoon. Either the one I have on my bunk style trailer or this one I found.

The thought is I can do more with this one I found and leave mine intact and sell it (except for my motor) so that someone else can use it. Then I get the advantages of larger pontoons and more deck space on the same 24 foot length boat.

So I only need the trailer to move it to my barn (maybe 5 miles) or to my house, so I can start rebuilding it. Then I will sell mine and keep my trailer.

Good luck in trying to sell your pontoon without a trailer or motor...

Maybe so.... Maybe I should look at another trailer. Or converting it to a tiller steer one for the local lake here.

All and all the other boat still is costing me less than fabricating some extra cross members etc so my 19" pontoon will have the same floor space...

Even if I have to piece the thing out I can't imagine someone wouldn't want it...especially if I can deliver it.
