Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Still waiting to take delivery of the 2013 Harris. The original owner picked up his special order boat from the dealership last week but wanted to keep his original trailer. The dealership knew this ahead of time and ordered a new trailer for us at the end of February when we decided to buy the 2013.

Originally, we thought the trailer would've been here mid last week but it still hasn't made it. The manager has been friendly and always seems to give us the best information he has available. He said that he had planned (if needed) to simply switch trailers on another Tritoon that they had in stock, but they've sold.

In the end, he said that ordering and receiving trailers is a "constant struggle" in the boating industry. Has anybody else had similar a experience in terms of delays?

I ordered a trailer from the manuf and they built and had it ready in less than a week.

Sounds a little odd to me. Try calling the manuf and ask them how long to build you one.

I live 85 miles from a major trailer manufacturer, and my dealer can get most popular trailers immediately.

One of your problems is that Phoenix is so far from where most boat trailers are made. Sometimes trailers are available, however there is not a full stacking of trailers going your way. It would cost too much to transport a trailer one by one.

That makes perfect sense. Seems like it could be fast or slow once you factor timing of order and logistics. Thank you both!

All the dealers up here"that I know of" get a delivery from manufacturer once a month, unless business dictates more. If you think about it why would you ever deliver just one. your right makes perfect sense.

My dealer made their own rolling death-trap POS trailers.

I had to replace both axles, and add electric brakes.

Count your blessings.
