While mail ordering may look cheaper. The shipping will KILL you. Springs are fairly heavy.



I use Humphrey's Hitch & Trailer Parts on Frank Reeder Rd. 941-4010

Dang BuckWild that trailer of yours does not fit that boat. No full length frame rails and the cantilevered bunks don't go all the way to the transom.



That "Can" set up a hook in the hull.

We usually buy all of our trailer parts from Robs hitch center in Pensacola. The prices are the best we found yet.

The hull is stepped in from the back- the bunks would add no support if they were longer- as they wouldnt touch the hull any farther back. Don't know about the frame rails- although this is the matcing trailer from pathfinder.

As for shipping costs, i didnt have but $23 for about 50lbs shipped.

BuckWild - I like the way your boat sits on the that trailer. Must be easy to load and off-load, especially at a short ramp.

X-Shark - Don't know what problem you had at Eddie English Trailers, but he has always been very helpful and courteous to me.

Eddies only problem is he is always busy, some times to the point where I've actually seen him talking on three phone at one time. Personally I would rather do business with someone who, is busy rather than walk into a place where everyone is sitting on ther butts BSing. However, Eddie is not very tolerant when it comes to someone trying to tell him how to do his job orbeing a smart ass. I've seen people come off the interstate after having a flat tire and having to either leave the trailer behind or hitch a ride leaving the tow vehicle behind as well andhe would give them atire and wheel, tell them to fix the trailer and come back and not take any money from the person. You can't go wrong doing business with him and it's not likely you'll beat his prices.

I did call Eddie. He was very helpful on the phone and his prices seemed fair. I completely forgot about Rob's, and he is much closer to me than Eddie. The folks at Rob's did not seem as friendly, but I was able to get what I needed at a decent price without burning a quarter tank of gas to get there. Thanks for all the advise.
