DE Trailers

[Bill]

Who makes a trailer for a DE? Ive seen a few modified Ventures but just seeing if there was a " go to" guy.

I think KentFab in Pembroke MA builds them.

 

[Bill]

Ya there isnt much out there on the web for " downeast trailers".. I saw these the other day on CL as a cheap option.

Thanks Steve

Are you looking for one for your boat? I wouldn't think you needed anything custom or "DE" specific.

Didn't you just take a road trip?

 

[Bill]

Yes via hydraulic trailer,, the 25 tjason has a large keel

Here is one, I don't know the owner of the boat. hope he is not mad!!

 

[Jangles]

Ah. Missed the tjason. I thought you were on about the skiff.

To echo others, I'm sure plenty of companies would build you one.

Triad Trailers comes to mind. They do a lot of sailboat trailers.

Cheaper options are to find a steel trailer and put your own uprights on. I did that for my sailboat actually. If you're willing to weld, or hire it done it can be quite cost effective.

 

[Bill]

No just for the seasonal launch.. Im not sure how cost effective it will be to own a trailer but I was just researching it and there isnt much info out there..I figure it will cost me $250 in the spring and fall but if one were to engage in maine lobster boat races I am going to need a trailer.

I will get better pics from work tomorrow

 

[Bill]

does anyone know if Tommy Armstrong is still around building hydraulic trailers? I havent heard his name in a number of years, he had a shop in marshfield.

 

[tailhook]

Talk to steveinak his trailer looks good and did quite a ride if I remember.
and powederpro also, the hydraulic ones cost a bit more.
its cool if you want one, I just bought a DE I need the work

Bill,

His a "cousin" to your 25 Terry Jason...a 25 BHM........ on a trailer

If I recall the owner said the trailer was +- $6800 BUT I could be wrong

thats a nice lookin 25 there !!! The only thing that scares me are the roller bunks, i've seen a couple of 28' boats roll right off the trailers and on to the ramp !!

I don't recall why he went roller vs bunk.
As you he uses to launch and haul once and move it around the yard.

Tail hook you build trailers for a living?

Thanks Bill for that pic. What a nice lookin boat. I saw Venture trailers as well. It's not gonna be this season but I would consider it next season. Only problem is my truck would have to grow as well.
