Collecting boat on 30th Oct - need a trailer

Hi, I've popped a wanted advert on the forum and am currently searching t'internet for a decent roadworthy trailer to collect the new boat on 30th Oct, so have a little over 2 weeks to source one.

I'm looking for something along the lines of a roller coaster trailer suitable for transporting a 25ft boat weighing circe 3000kg

If anyone knows of someone wanting to free up their driveway, please do ask them to get in touch.

Many Thanks Gary

I can offer you mine, with some tips how to use it,
would be the perfect size,
but I'm afraid that i am too far away / too costly to collect and return,

Hi Gary,
Do you want to buy one or borrow one?

If the idea is to buy one then it might take you a while before a second hand one turns up, we had the same trouble when trying to source a trailer capable of load around 2500kg.

Trouble with trailers of this size is they are highly sought after.
Don't forget they are weighty items themselves typically 600-800kg unloaded.
It might be worth looking at new, for the difference in price it's probably going to be the best bet.
Budget for around £3000 for that sort of size.
I have seen a couple of trailers for sale at boatyards (ex yard collection/delivery) might be worth looking at EBY and similar.
Good luck with your search

Here's one (new)

But this second hand one would do nicely for the right money;

Call Essexboatyards. They have about 5, bought new by EBY and used for deliveries towed by EBY's fleet of RR Sports. I seem to remember someone there telling me recently that 1 or 2 might be surplus and for sale. I'm not at all sure, so sorry for wasting time if it turns out the one you'd want isn't for sale, but maybe worth a quick call.
 
i was at eby yesterday and they had several large trailers near the office part but didnt see any for sale sighns but may be worth asking them.

That's weird - the used one is £50 dearer than the new one. :confused:

Got to say I'm now confused too, the new price from South Coast Boat Trailers for the R4 3500EL is £2950 + Vat

The one in the link is brand new but cancelled order, advertised at £2900 + Vat :confused:

Doesn't look like much of a saving but when vat added it's over £100 off.

We Had an SBS R4/2500b (I think) trailer made, picked it up from the factory in Wolverhampton, build time approx 6 weeks, so if desperate for one it represents a small saving in cost but nill waiting time for build.
 
never ceases to amaze me how wonderful the folk of this forum are.. deposit paid to EBY to secure a 1 year old Bramber Rollered trailer that's never been in the water and currently supporting a Four Winns 258 so should easily support my Rinker 250... will be collecting wc 25/10, sorted :cool:

those who pointed me at EBY are due on pint on me if ever we meet:)
 
i may be going back to eby on tuesday ( work permiting) to look at another boat with a friend. if you need i can take some piccies.
 
that's a very kind offer but the trailer's off site until wc 25th Oct. I've asked for a photo to be sent over as he was looking at it as we were talking.
