Im 95% sure Im going to buy this 79 Sea Nymph "fishing Machine" 16.5 footer tomorrow. The list of goodies included is long and the price is right.
My question is this; the boat is sitting on a high dollar custom all STAINLESS Duel axle trailer. Would you keep it even though it is extreme overkill, or sell it and put the money back into the boat?

It has a "media blast" finish Stainless Steel. The boat weighs 600 dry with no motor, gas tanks etc.
 
I dunno how it would sell in OH unless you're near the big rivers.I know on the coast those trailers sale for a load.I would try yo list it in coastal areas on craig's list and possibly list it on ebay.Then sink the dough into a small used trailer and building the boat.That trailer is one heck of a find.I wouldn't be surprised if it brought $3000 to $3500 from a coastal boater.

I live 10 minutes form Lake Erie. I think you are right, I will use it for a year or 2 then find a suitable replacement trailer and make my money back for the whole project by selling the trailer.
