njmpm1969 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hello everyone, Just a couple of questions. I am looking at purchasing a new boat soon probably a Stessl Trophy 530 or 560 and I was wondering if anyone knew what the likely cost would be to upgrade to an aluminium trailer, is that even possible? Also do people think that it's worth the upgrade and would you do it at this stage? Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric001 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 If your planning on holding the boat fir a long time AL is worth te investment. Its lighter so easier to tow and usally t section extruded which means washing the salt away is easier. Corrosion is a much lower issue than gal trailers. If option ws available when i bought mine recently i would hve taken the upgrade Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmpm1969 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks mate, I know it will be worth it just wondering if anyone had an idea what sort of cost I would be looking at to upgrade from the stock gal one for a 5.3-5.6m boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric001 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think oe of the site sponsors deals in trailers. Might be worth asking them direct. Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croydon Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi mate, It all depends on the brand of trailer you opt for. But a rough guesstimate would be $3 - $5,000 dearer for aluminium over gal................... Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
