Alright, so I ordered a trailer in mid Feb, from a Venture Factory Reb to be delivered by 3/23. No problem I'm told. I called 2 weeks ago, and he told me it's to come off the assembly line 3/15, but he would call on 3/12 with an update. No call Monday, I call Tues, Thurs, Friday, and now yesterday and left messages. Nocall back yet I am stuck with still needing a trailer by Friday.
Yesterday, I made some calls to formulate a backup plan. Dave's Trailer in Glen Burnie will take 1 1/2 weeks, and Boaters World on the Eastern Shore has one but it is a left over '05 and they are asking full price. Should I expect to pay full price for a trailer that is 2 years old? Would I be out of line to offer 20% less?
Next Question is, I ordered a Bunk Trailer, and the one at BW is a Roller. The main reason I am buying a trailer is for storage and transport down south once a year. Is it okay to store a boat on rollers over the winter?
