87 Plat. PS

I need your ideas.

I have a "87" platinum prostar that has been completly refurbed by Leading Edge. The work is great and i'm very happy with it.

It is now time for the trailer! The question is: Do I have the origanal trailer re stored or put a new trailer under it?

I picture the old trailer lookin sharp, but the new trailers just look sweet.

Let's hear from the true exsperts!

One vote for a new trailer! Though, it may not make economic sense.

Nothing looks cooler than a new tandem axle trailer. Just sayin'

IF you have a 'PLATINUM' boat, it is NOT an 87. That boat was the 20th anniversary boat and it came out in 88. I had boat #66 of 200 made. Incidentally, its on here for sale right now.

You're right, I went back to the other thread you started a while back. My bad!
As for the trailer, it'll be cheaper to re-furb the old one, and it will look good, but a tandem would look better under her!
I am considering buying back my old Platinum. Its on here and for sale.

I have a tandem under it while my trailer is at Boatmate. It does look sweet.
I'm leaning towards a single axel due to cost. The tandem pulled really nice.
I wish I was rich instead of so good looking! HA HA!
