Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hiya,
Best price I think you can find will be at LaCanne's Marine in Fairbault (spelling?) After that, I would check Hallberg Marine.
My first boat/motor/trailer combo I purchased from Hallberg, so when I was calling around about prices, I called LaCannes, Nelson Marine, 61 marine and sports, Warners Dock (new richmond), Dan's Southside, and even checked Cabelas. LaCannes had given me the best deal on the navigator combo. I stopped in at Hallberg since i was in the area and priced out what they would charge. They were about $1000 more than LaCannes and I mentioned to them what I could get the rig for. The gal I worked with asked where I could get that price, she immediately went to her manager....and came back with an offer of only $20 more than LaCannes, so I went again with Hallberg.
Service-wise, I have enjoyed working with the riggers at Hallberg. Dave was the guy who rigged mine, and we talked at length about items on the boat. Great job on his part with everything.
My bet, Hallberg or LaCanne's.
Also...if you go with a Shoreland'r, they have a 2300 or a 2400 pound trailer which is the same frame and axle system as their 3100lb trailer that has brakes. The only difference....the brakes themselves. (learned that one from Dave at Hallberg) So..if you desire brakes, you can get them as an add on later.... I like it because if in MN the trailer is under 3000 pound capacity, you get the lifetime license and the one time payment, add the brakes and the capacity is there to go more weight if the need exists. Hallberg will also store your boat until spring in their storage if you purchase through them...a great little perk when we have a wonderful winter like this going on...
