I've been throwing around the idea of buying an early 70's fiberglass 16-18' boat as a fixer-upper for fall estuary salmon fishing. Haven't singled one out but they are all over the place rotting in yards up and down the coast here. I just want the shell(hull) of the boat w/o engine and interior. I know I can get one cheap.

The problem is most, if not all, of the boats I see are on rusted out trailers. I won't skimp on trailers and would rather start with a new one for piece of mind.

My questions is do most of the present day trailer manufacturers offer trailers for older boats? (20-30 years old). And if they don't, are most modern trailers "adjustable" to fit the dimensions of older boats? Maybe some of you in the industry could point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.
