Does anyone know where I can pick -up a good 2nd hand trailer to suit a 4.5 mt tinny???
Ive been watching Ebay , Trading post, etc. but have not found what I want, Im hoping "someone knows someone "who wants to get rid of one.
Thanks in advance for your help.

rando, had one on here for a month, registered to sep 08 that finally went for $200. It need $200 or so worth of repairs but otherwise a good trailer that used to carry my 16' cc tinnie. Adjustable to carry 4.5 to 5.5m. Keep an eye on here or google used boat trailers in your area, also ebay, weekend trader, trading post etc. Worth doing some research to determine the best trailer for your needs, ie length, beam, weight of boat, to make sure the trailer is legal once you have a combat loaded boat ie motor, fuel container, fuel, water, ice box/esky, fighting gear, & all the other clobber you may want to carry in the boat when towing it, distance you intend to tow etc. Loading up the boat can cause damage to it on the tow, after all it's designed to go on the water & not be a box trailer. Worth researching also with your RTA if you need a trailer with brakes. Lots more people on here with more experience than me who will jump in with good advice.
cheers, Mark

No welder,,, never used one, she'ld be a rough old job if you turned me loose on a pile of steel!!!;D;D
Mark I saw your trailer , but don't have the skill or equipment to repair it.
I need one that is in pretty good nick and just needs to be adjusted to my 4.2m+pod, Clark tinny
