new boat -expensive trailer surprise

[familyman]

Troy in that case the dealer may have some claim for compensation from CC over the difference in required trailer specs .If I was the dealer I would be looking for some support from the manufacturer of the boats I was trying to sell for them,I would at least persue a 50/50 settlement of additional costs if not getting CC to pay for all of the difference.Make no mistake ,Troy at no point ,in any way whatsoever are you liable for the extra cost of the higher spec trailer .Its not just a matter of a more optioned trailer ,its the difference between one that is legal and roadworthy and a cheaper one that is ILLEGAL and dangerous given the weight of the rig .
Thats my rant anyhow
Troy I hope you enjoy whatever rig you get in the end,remember its all about having fun ,that is why we do it.

I have some very good news late yesterday the dealer offered to fit the wiring to my truck for free and also knocked 900.00 of the trailer.
today they again contacted me and said cruise craft will take off 1000.00 off the price of the boat which it means that we are going thirds in the increase and i appreciate the jesture from both parties.
also i would not have been able to do this with out the help i received from you people in ausfish to which i am very greatful.
thanks very much troy

Yep, well done Troy, you can know rest in piece knowing that a good deal was done and you got the support from both manufacturer and dealer. It pays to be patient and hold your ground.
Being a CC owner, it is good to hear that they are willing to do what they can.
Enjoy your new rig, and look forward to seeing some photo's,

Troy, Good to see you stuck it out. My 575 outsider has been great for 18 months now and Tweed marine did me right. It took me six years to work out what I wanted (while I owned an old Coxcraft Rumrunner) and the waiting was well worth it.
Would love to see the pics of boat and fishing reports for a long time to come.

You Know their ignorance is not a defence in this matter and the price should have been honoured IMO

gday after working in the trailer industry for five years now in victoria.I know that if your gross vehicle mass or GVM exceeds 2000 kg you need a breakaway unit.On a boat trailer you will have hydraulic disks with an electric over hydraulic breakaway unit you will then need an electric brake control fitted to your vehicle.The best units i have seen are the CARLISLE HYDROSTAR this unit alone retails in our store for $2500.00 not including fittment.I think $2700.00 isnt a bad price, the allternitive is pottentionally not being insured after having an accident.I hope this info helps.

nicko 233 i think you should read the post from the start.
anyway welcome to ausfish.
