[alberg30] Trailers

[Scott Wallace]

Last Spring we took the plunge and paid $3000 for a TRIAD trailer for our
1963 Pearson Electra.  Was it a smart move?  It beats expensive yard
storage in the winter, I can trail our Electra to Canada's Lake Huron in
about six to seven hours, set her up rigged and in the water in two
hours...or take her to Lake Erie in five hours.  Time will tell but if you
expense your trailer out over even 6 years you get a thousand per year, you
can store it in your yard or a nearby woodyard, work on the boat your self
and have the option of trailerability...Over ten years you are at a little
more than $500 per year!
TRIAD trailers are superbly designed and impeccably built, easy to use and
safe to launch...I have received many compliments on the trailer and our
Electra
