I am thinking of getting a different trailer for my 38 Fountain. I currrently have a 2005 Tri axle loadmaster. Nice trailer but want an all white trailer to match my boat. Trailer is near new and only used a handful of times. It is still on mso. It is Painted black Fountain logos from factory( black and gold) Torsion axles, electric brakes all the way around. I would be surprised if it has 1000 miles on it. Trailer is custom built to fit a 38 Fever or Lightning with small steps. Very nice trailer just want something different and Im bored already this winter. What is it worth? and does anyone on the board need a newer trailer cheap.

Put that bad boy in the classifieds. I listed my trailer (35 03 roadrunner) and started getting calls 15 minutes later and had it sold the next morning for a grand higher than it was listed. Check NADA used trailer prices and be guided accordingly. The nice part of owning your trailer is that fountain has a large 38 owner base and used trailers are hard to come by. I did this in May so this time of year it may be a little slower.

Make sure you get it advertised in Florida, and the East Coast. You may find someone with a steel trailer that wants to switch.

If the trailer is in such good shape and hasn't been used a lot, why not just have it painted and done the way you want, wheels etc?
You said you are already bored, that will be the same $$ as selling used and ordering new probably?
Just my 2 cents, take care;

I have a buy on another brand that is a deal that I can not pass up. Also re painting trailers and changing the color never works out. It will be ok but will never be "right". I want it to be right. I may put it in the classifieds soon. Just looking for some priceing help.

Its how it looks in the water that counts. The trailer is just to get it there.Up grade the boat's paint or put on some blowers. Did you ever say (You should see my trailer.)

The trailer can really compliment the boats looks so go for it. Really ugly rusted no fender trailers just draw attention to themselves while your beautiful Fountain is sitting on them and they ruin the looks of the boat

Sorry guys- I pulled the triger on a new custom tri axle manning. Tool boxes, drive gaurd, lots of diamond plate, mags, and a nice paint job with extra clear coat. Should look pretty neat!
