Does anyone know or can recommend where to get a good deal on a trailer for my Hunter 265 I just purchased?
Thanks,

Depends on your idea of a 'good deal' 
I guess you are looking for something in the used market? If so, then you can find pretty good deals on e-bay, craigslist and the various marine want-ads you can find online, but it might take a while before you find a really good deal. And keep in mind that regardless of what you find, chances are it will not be setup for your boat, so you will still need to tweak it to fit right. To that end, keep an eye out for a trailer that has adjustable bunks, axle(s) and winch support posts so you can adjust the balance of the boat on the trailer. If they are not adjustable, then be prepared to cut/weld (or paying someone to cut/weld) to get it to fit. Also, it will be easier to fit if the trailer was previously used for a sailboat.. motorboat trailers are setup for a much further rearward center of gravity. Something to think about.

Thanks all.....still searching my Hunter is finally on a borrowed trailer in AL, now it's time for the journey!
I have a brand new custom made trailer that came with my Hunter 25.5. I was made in Houston specifically for this boat and will adjust to fit a sailboat 22 to 27 feet long...has a ten foot extension with wheel attachment. Double axles...each rated at 3500 lbs for a total of 7000 lbs. Located in Austin TX...price $3000. call me at 512-705-6500.
I was curious about the type of trailer you ended up using, and how well did it work to haul the boat over that distance? I'm keeping my eye out for a good deal on a H26.5 or 25.5, but it's hard to find one close by or on a trailer. I'm just about 50 miles north of you on Eagle creek.
Capt. K, we are using Perry Cameron's trailer. We had a guy haul it up for us. $$ The boat is in my driveway on Perry's trailer right now getting some repairs completed. We're still looking for a trailer. The one in Texas looks good, but it's over 1000 miles away. We're trying to reduce the amount of cash going out (lots of it!!). When we get it sorted out we'll update this thread.
