A Mac Trailer for sale.

Caveat: I have no connection to the owner and know absolutely nothing about it other than what's shown in the eBay listing.

Having said that, I see it has disc brakes, but seems to lack a ladder... not sure if this is for an X or what(?)... but if someone here has a rotted trailer, it might do the job until they get something better. Doesn't seem to be a reserve, and BiN is only $500... not a bad price if it's in reasonable condition. Being in FL means it's more likely to have seen a lot of salt, though.

Well, that's just my point, Mark... the Mac trailers clearly ain't worth a lot, but if all you've got is one that's about to fall apart, or you want to restore one for use but still need your current one to haul around your rig in the mean time, this might do the trick.... heck, there's no reserve on the bl**dy thing and it's only at $1.00 right now, so it could go really cheap indeed!

It it right circumstance, it might be just the thing for somebody. I imagine there might be somebody out there whose trailer is about to fall apart from the saltwater and could use this one.

hull, it'd be worth $1 to take it to a shop that makes trailers and sa"make me a galvanized one just like it". That is, assuming that your trailer is full of boat...

Of course, you'd want to make all those little (maybe big) improvements...

But, its gotta be worth something just to show the bunk layout, etc...

Heck, the tires and wheels are worth something...

No, I have no connection to it. But, I'd be bidding on it if I were in the area and had someplace to put it...

Interesting.. the buyer also bought THIS.... a clue as to what boat they have!

Even more interesting, they also bought THIS as well! (yikes.. that thing would keep me awake at night if it was in my house!) :? :|

That thing looks as good as any other figurehead I've seen on other sailing vessels. :D It should be able to ward off evils of the deep.
