Greetings all
Any suggestions on where I could find a boat or utility trailer for cheap?? doesn't have to be new.
I bought a two-man potoon raft for floating the local rivers but am going to need something to haul it around on.
Thanks

look at craigslist and such at suburbs around cities,
alot of times people will have old boats not worth much and just looking to dump them,
if you can dump the boat, can usually use the trailer it comes with,

thanks for the input fellas. I'm also buying one of those pelican boats (the little composite made...for small lakes and such). Guy has one for sale in the DC area and only wants $125.00....normally they go for about 5-600. It's got what looks to be about a 6 inch hairline crack (that's why so cheap) in the back of one of the pontoons....I should be able to patch it though.....maybe a new thread about that once I look at it.
thanks again
thanks again
