Mike:
Mike call Mike at Triad. They have a deal with Stan, if they sell one
it is through him, they like his business.
I have a galvanized trailer. I did the same thing Mary Lou did about
18 months ago. Gave Stan my painted trailer in trade for a galvanized one.
My trailer was serviceable, but I wanted something better for long trips.
My wheels are five lugs, 15 inch wheels. I think that the 6 lugs are 16
inch wheels. I recently saw another new galvanized trailer with the 5 - 15"
setup. May have to do with supply of wheels? Check with Stan and Mike. If
you already have a five lug spare, you save buying another with the 5 lugs.
At the time I was thinking of going to Lock 12, just have not done it
yet, 1000 miles is a challange. My name is not Elton.
Look here, is that your boat 5th line down, 3rd boat over:
