I want an Investigator trailer.

[Ozzie]

Hi all, I’m in the market for another trailer. My current one is repairable but I’m so busy on other matters at the moment that I don’t have time or energy to spend on it. I thought I’d throw it out there and see if anybody has one they want to sell/ replace with a new one. Or maybe someone who’s considering going full mooring with slipping and no trailer cluttering up the yard.

I had earlier contacted PCFreestyle who has a wanted ad on our site for 563 boat only, but does not require a trailer or motor, so if anybody is considering selling he may take your boat and I’ll take your trailer if it’s what I’m after. I may even be interested in your outboard if that’s part of your issue with selling to him. He had no offers at the time.

I’m looking for a structurally sound trailer with current NSW rego. Braked, (requiring annual inspection) I’m not worried if tyres are low on tread as I have new wheels/tyres I can transfer over. If the same size. Also easy replacement items like rollers, springs and brake pads are not an issue.

Cosmetics are also not a problem. I’ve got good bunks I can transfer over. Rust stains as long as not bad structural rust is acceptable. I intent to paint the whole trailer with fish oil, and inject it into the cross members, which is what I should have done with mine when I got it 20 years ago. I also have a new three speed winch to use, so if your winch is dodgy, no issues. In fact you can keep your winch post and winch if you have a good one and wish to transfer it to your new build, same with bunks and supports. I also have good lights so that’s not needed

My offer may suite someone wanting to build a new, pristine trailer to a new design or spec but may not have considered they could realise some cash from their old trailer. Dunno, but never hurts to ask. We’re happy to travel. That’s what we do for fun. I’ll pay cash which may suite if you’re planning a divorce.LOL

Anyway pm me if you have something I may be interested in and we’ll talk turkey, price etc. I tried a recent pm to PCFreestyle to see if he’s still looking for an investigator boat only but no answer so maybe he’s not, or he could be over on Facebook so you could contact him there. I’m not on Facebook.

Hi I’m just throwing it out there again by bumping this post . I believe PCFreeway is still in the market for a 563 but he’s waiting for contact. He’s after Boat only and I’m interested in your trailer. If you like you can contact me via pm with trailer details and then I’ll contact him cheers.

Hey Emrys
I am away working at the moment but I can’t see where your ip is blocked. A pain trying to sort it on a phone. What error message do you get?

[Cherry]

Hi Geoff
No error message. When I log in as snoopebj using my home IP address the investigator website won’t load. If i use data only and turn off wi fi the investigator website loads but then I can only view and not post
Not had this problem with any other website using my IP address.
Not a big worry but an interesting situation. Glad I’m not prone to conspiracy theories.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks all
Emrys aka Cherry

Hi mate Ozzie here I’ve sent you an email on your snoop John b email which is your email listed on this site. I have checked your membership status and your still listed as a global moderator. I thought I may have inadvertently done something when trying to pm you sometime ago but no. Above my pay grade . Anyway check your email. I can of course now send you a pm on cherry.

[Ozzie]

I’ll Do that as well.

[Geoff]

Very curious! I’ll be home tonight so I’ll get onto this first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks fellas.

I have located a possibility of a generic brooker replacement trailer in Sydney. This Is rego’d but not braked. I discussed this with Geoff and I think the 563s weight required a braked trailer but curious if any forum members had earlier 1970s unbraked trailers. As per a heavy box trailer I used to own they usually have a condition on registration papers like “exempt brakes if hauling vehicle weighs more than A Sherman tank” or similar tosh.

An original ongoing rego does not have to comply with newer requirements (generally) My mates 38 chev only has one windscreen wiper for instance. As I’m only going 1 km to the ramp and back every 18 months and using a heavy dual cab tow vehicle this would not be an issue for me. Resale would, but new owner is free to upgrade and have rego amended accordingly.

Anyway , asking do any of the forum owners have an early trailer that didn’t require brakes?

You can pm me if you’d prefer
