Ouch! $30,000 for a 14/17' trailer?

Did anyone look at the video? Theres fish, Sailboats, hermit crabs a guy with a block plane, spyders, Bees, rain on the window And even a camp fire. Not much on the trailer though.

And what the heck does this mean?

"A Teardrop to blur the bounds to that place in time where the rhythums all rhyme."


I duno??

Happy Trails

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:
But,
I would have to see more of this trailer to justify that price.

My last build took 9 weeks and over $5,500 to in material, the retail price for this trailer is right at the 10k mark.

You have to look at the workmanship, (workmanship = hours = cost to someone) how long to build, mass produced or loving built by hand one at a time?

You have to look at the the material. ($8.00 for a brass hinge, etc.!)

What kind of frame (no red trailer frames around in my shop, sorry to the r.t. folk mine are in-house heavy duty.)

Compare apples to apples. Look closely how they are built, ie. specs.

Hate so say, that's too high or I'm too cheap! Like to see more of this trailer to make that call. :o

There are people who will pay this for a trailer, if they get to busy they can always send some my way, maybe then I can afford to build myself one. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Meanwhile I have a sweet 12' wooden sailboat to finish.
