[Rhodes22-list] New trailer - galvanized

[Mary Lou Troy]

Mike,
After carefully inspecting a new trailer at the 
Annapolis Boat Show we decided to order a new one 
through Stan. My understanding is that Triad only 
sells R22 trailers through GB but you might be 
able to work out a deal with CT pickup.

The new trailers are made of considerably heavier 
steel than the older ones. They are all 
galvanized and come with brakes and larger 6 lug 
wheels. Stan quoted us $3,995 for a new single 
axle trailer picked up in Edenton. We are paying 
a bit less than that because he is giving us 
something for our old painted trailer in trade. I 
have no idea what year our painted Triad is but 
the new one is a significant improvement.
