28 foot roller bunk trailer

[ac holmes]

I have a 1989 Continental 28 foot trailer for sale. This is a good piece of equipment and ready to roll. It is rated at 6000 lbs gross but will handle more I think because the four nearly new premium tires are rated at 1720 each and the axles are rated at 3650 each...probably could handle a 5000-6000 pound boat OK. The rollers are heavy duty also.

New: 2 speed winch with brake, new brake actuator and new hardware where needed. Inspected, registered and title is clear. I put a lot of time and money into this project but cannot use it for my boat because my skeg keel is too deep. $2750

sorry about the photo...I tried to combine them into one image and made a negative...duh?

Is the trailer 28' or from the bow stop to the back of the trailer 28'? Don't take this the wrong way but you are asking more than what a new one goes for.

bump...new price of $2500

This trailer is as good as a new one, which will cost around $7000

I don't take it wrong at all...thanks for mentioning it, but I shopped around last year for a new one and could not find anything for less than $6500.

I also asked a couple of marina people to give me a estimate of value and both told me $2500-$3000. I will be happy to sell it for what it's actually worth in today's market. I know that I will take a hit on it because I put quite a lot into it.

As to question of the actual length...it is 24' 6" from the bow stop to the back roller (just measured it)...the bow stop could be moved forward a few inches. My boat is 27' 6" and that is where I came up with 28 feet. The bow stop could easily be slid back 3 or 4 feet to accomadate a smaller boat...very easy to adjust for anything 21-27 feet. The cross braces are also quite easy to re-position to adjust the rollers fore and aft. Also, the trailer has all new wiring and new brake lines.

Are the brakes in working order?

[ac holmes]

Yes indeed the brakes are fine. They are drum style on one axle only. I have carefully re-furbished this trailer for my own use with the help of a mechanic friend, and made things right. As mentioned, my boat did not fit without big modifications and I found another trailer that was easier to deal with. I will take $2500.

Will it handle a 10 ft beam. Inboard??

I think 10 feet may be pushing it, depending on weight. You can adjust the bunks for the width, but the bottom line is: this trailer can handle a 5000lb. boat easy and I was thinking 6000lbs. was OK because it has been beefed up a little. It also depends on the use. My boat travels a mile or two twice a year. If the boat is going over the road, a 10 foot wide boat needs 3 axles for stability (in my opinion).

There is a 10,000lb. trailer for sale on this site and that would be great for a 10 footer.

I have learned the hard way recently to get the right trailer from the get-go and save a lot of frustration and money in the end of it.
