Trailers for large keel boats are hard to come by and expensive new. They are also more difficult to create from a double axle powerboat trailer because of all the necessary modifications. I got several quotes from Triad and others for my Lancer 25 then found a fairly new trailer from a Cape Dory on Craigslist for $3000 (new was $5000). I consulted with my Wife and she categorically refused to let me spend $3000 for a trailer for a $1000 boat even though it would save $1000/year in storage fees. Go figure. She said that it didn't have to make sense. So I sold the 25 footer and bought my current boat. I figured that I might as well pay another $300/year for storage and have standing head room.

If you find anything close at a reasonable price. Buy it fast...like this one...

Be sure to check the capacity though. They say 3400 lbs...if that isn't just for the boat this trailer may be too small as your boat is about 3250lbs. Trailers are more often rated as gross, which includes the weight of the trailer.
