If hull is not too bad I will be looking for a galvanized trailer. i have looked some but it looks like most manufactures are only making Aluminum trailers.

Tarpon boat trailers are made in Ocala, over the years i have bought 3 of them, they are very good trailers.
But i called them when i wanted one for my new jon boat 4 years ago and was told they didnt make one that small.
I bought one made by E Z Loader, they are made in Fort Pierce but sold through dealers. Mine is rated for 800 lbs, has 12” wheels, came with a winch and jack and a spare, and has torsion axels, no springs. Cost thru a dealer in Fort Pierce was about $900.
I would call E Z Loader and ask for a dealer near you. 772 465 7778

Thanks, I usually use B&S Trailers up by Mcintosh for mods and repairs but they only make Aluminum trailers now. They recommended BG trailers to me over in Astor. I will check out Tarpon and EZ Loader. My boat is a 1997 1980V Carolina Skiff, it's a wide boat 19ft long. I need to grab a couple trailer measurements, and boat width measurements for a proper trailer search.

I have a B&G trailers north of me in Deland, maybe the same folks with a different location. They’ve always done me right over the years and given me good prices too.

Yes your are right, I looked on internet.. Deland, I thought the guy said Astor. Current galvanized trailer is 80" wide frame to frame and 22ft long hitch to back of trailer. Boat is a semi V 19ft long and width is 92" at top of gunnels. I had 4 bunk boards on it and 6 or 7 ft long carpeted side boards for easy loading..
