Any ideas about where to find a used or new trailer for a 19 ft double ender? I need one fast as I move in about two weeks and I thought I could heft my half built Caledonia Yawl onto the moving truck, but maybe not a good idea.
Anybody had any luck finding used trailers?

I would ask around at the local marinas or marine mechanics.
they usually will have someone who has bought a plastic boat and once launched doesn't need it. Or place an ad in the local trader rag.
Two weeks is tight but you may get lucky. I got a once used trailer for 300.00 about two years ago. They bought the boat and kept it at the local marina. The price was right because it was time for snow and they needed yard space.

If possible, look for a trailer with bunks and fit them to the boat with padding, etc., not rollers. It will be easier on the boat (fewer point loads).

Moves: the bane of the unfinished-boat-builder's existence.

Good luck-
