Not like the one I need for my Jon boat. Last week I bent the tongue on my old boat trailer by being careless as I was backing my boat towards my garage where it stays out of the weather. Being a 2007 model I thought well maybe its time for a new one. So I went boat trailer hunting and also did some calling around to different dealers. I could not find one, each dealer I stopped at told me we don't have any but we can order you one but we can't tell you when it will arrive. One dealer told me to drive to Goldsboro NC 160 miles round trip and look there. Nope I ain't doing that.
Finally the dealer just down the road from us told me to go to Holland's Boat and Car sales, the lady inside the office told me he has some trailers and also quite a few used ones that he sells parts off of. So I went and found a very nice older gentleman working there by himself and with a woman he has hired to take used parts off the used boat trailers. As luck would have it I found just what I needed for a great price. Mr. Holland had some new trailers but they were too big for my boat. So I am back in business if I want to go fishing again now. The guy I bought the used tongue from had three boats in stock and he went on to tell me that last month he sold 36 new boats. Thanks Mr. Holland for helping me out, your working lady did a good job with cutting that used tongue off the used boat trailer. Mr. Holland told me he can't find any help to hire, he said folks just do not want to work anymore.
Someone has money to burn, most dealers here now do not have a good supply of new boats to sell, maybe two or three on their lots most of them but they will tell you I can order you one. It just might be next fishing season before you can use it. I sure wish money had been available like it is today when I was a young man.
