various trailer hardware
Galvanized Tilt trailer is in fine condition with new springs, spare tire, bearing buddies and working lights. Tongue weight is quite manageable and full trailer and rig should fit in most garages or car ports.
The mast is light weight and once you get the technique for raising and lowering is really quite easy. Be glad to show how it's done. Contact me and lets take her out for a spin. The 3.3 mariner outboard is plenty of power and very light weight too. Price can be adjusted down 200. to cover the cost of the motor if not desired.
Tan bark Bimini top is not shown but included
