Hey thanks for the comments, guys.

No it wasn't full when I got home, Michael...ha ha...good one! And no racing slicks, Rocket!

Scott - deck dimensions are 4' x 6'.

No bearing buddies - I don't think I'll need them on this unit. I have always used them on my boat trailer though.

The chair casters work great on my deck but appreciate the head's up on those nice rubber ones. I'll keep it in mind. These are old school chairs and I can't help but think along with that is old school design, materials, and build quality. Those cushions for example are secured by straps that snap into place. Easy to remove for cleaning.

Back to the trailer.....I brought the seller 3 nice Bromeliads as a gesture of appreciation for helping make the deal go so well. I didn't see the ad until after 10:30pm last night but went ahead and shot off an email indicating my interest. He sent a reply about a half hour later and then we spoke on the phone a little while later and agreed on meeting this morning to do the deal. He said he had another person from Orlando interested but for some reason got a good vibe off my inquiry so trusted his gut feeling. The listing was 3 weeks old so I wasn't sure where I stood until I got his reply. He said it was originally listed at $1,400 and he decided to drop it down to $1,200. I've been looking at utility trailers for quite a while and the fact that this one was all aluminum and custom built locally really appealed to me. Located between the river and ocean corrosion is a real PITA for anything left outside.

Tomorrow I'm gonna call the company that built it and try and find out what a new one like that would cost, just out of curiosity. I'm thinking it had to be between $1,500-$2K. I'll report back.

Thanks again, guys!
