260 trailer question

[rbyham]

Where would a new owner shop for a 2000 260 trailer? Can these be borrowed or possibly rented for rarely hauled boat?

Yes, Crazy Dave is correct- Magic Tilt used to list the Hunter water-ballast models on their sailboat trailer page, but don't see the Hunters now. But they will still have the plans- won't be cheap. Might be able to find a used 260 trailer if you can wait for one.

Will call MT but sounds like patience may be the key. Found a 260 for great price but no trailer. My other option is to pay a bit more for one that comes with trailer.

I am of the opinion that anytime you are buying an old boat… you are actually buying the sails, the outboard and the trailer … the boat is free. Replacing those first three gets spendy quick
