Can't find a flatbed big enough to get my new boat home
Any sugesstions? I have an 05 suburban that will bring the boat back from Texas. I looked and all trailers are just too small.
Now option 2...purchase a new trailer and slip it under the boat
What is the best aftermarket trailer for the Mac?
I need to purchase something immediately.
Thanks

Re: Can't find a flatbed big enough to get my new boat home
what about.... a car hauler - or a large car carrying trailer? they have more than enough lift capacity...
Hyrdaulic Trailers might also be just the thing... Drop the bed down, slide underneath the boat - the lift and secure... I found local rental companies with 7500# hadraulic trailers that rented pretty cheap.... used for moving bob cats and construction site equipment... could take some floor jacks, 4x4s, and jack stands to do it...
How far do you have to travel? would you have a bit of time to patiently get it on a trailer? where in Texas??
We have an '05 suburban, too... After Jacking the trailer up and onto a concrete block support for bottom painting - I can see how it might be done....

I have an EZ Loader trailer under my 26M. I'm pretty sure EZ Loader has dealers all over the country.
