Trailers all have different bunk configurations... You need to find one that will work on your hull, Or can be modified to fit.

Friend of mine may have a boat for sale soon. Older boat. He's put a lot on it. He's looking hard at a new Ranger. Don't know what he's asking, but will keep an eye out for you if he goes to sell it if you are interested. As a working man now, you must be rolling in the greenbacks.

if you get a used one, i would highly recommend putting a few extra bucks into it and have it sand blasted, primed and then coated with bed liner. There's a few types out there (Gator Hide is popular on new boats) that aren't heavy/thick like a line-x or something.  It will last a good long time and you'll probably never have your boat off of it again to do the work later.

Otherwise EZ loader makes the trailers for most popular boats these days. They have a custom series on their website which is what you'll find on skeeters, legends, and so on.

Thanks for the help everyone. I think I may have the rusty spots re enforced before I consider pulling the trigger looking like its 4k for a new one  ::)

Rusty = Trusty.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.   ???
