Trailer Stores in MA?
Trailer Stores in MA?
Hi Guys,
I think it's about time to upgrade from my open trailer. Carrying 50,000$+ in junk available to whoever wants to rip my stuff off doesn't seem like a good idea, especially since I plan on driving out to the SCCA Runoffs this year. Does anyone have a decent trailer dealer in the MA area? Would just be looking for a somewhat basic 20-24' enclosed.
Thanks in advance.

I JUST today bought a new 2008 Thule Cargo Pro 20' aero V nose all aluminum enclosed 8.5' wide car trailer from Atlantic Coast Traliers in Charlton,Ma. for $9k out the door. Excellent construction with a beavertail floor and tailgate for low cars.16" on center floor crossmembers,seamless one piece alu roof,etc etc.
I have been looking for quite a while and have not been able to come close to this quality of a trailer for the money.
They have one black 20 footer left...

I have been using my F550 rollback car carrier to transport,however Federal laws for interstate "towing" are very regulated and I am done being their whipping boy.

Hey....I'll put in another blip for Atlantic Coast in Charlton. I bought my open 14 footer (that I sold to Sean) and my 18' enclosed CargoPro (Thule) from them.
You'll have the option to buy the trailer as a cargo trailer or a car trailer. Have them explain the differences. For me, carrying a 12 pound car and 300 pounds of tools and wheels, I went with the cargo type. It's lighter and cheaper. My 18' comes in at 2100 pounds empty. I believe I've got a 6000 pound capacity and the car trailer is 7000. A longer one might up that.
You're welcome to look at mine if you want. It's just sitting full of parts and a crx without a drivetrain right now.
Oh....I just remembered.....the V nose is not counted in Thule's box length. So my 18 footer has the extra room in the V itself. Way overkill for me. If I did a bit of a ramp setup, I could fit 2 CRX's into it.
