Default FS 18 foot open deck trailer

Looking to upgrade to an enclosed trailer, but need to sell the current one first if there is interest.

Specs:
2005 Kraftsman 18' deck w/ beaver tail (steel trailer)
open middle deck
dual 3500# axles
brakes on both axles
break-a-way kit with good battery
removable drivers side fender
spare tire (tires are upgrade and are 225 wide, most new trailers today come with 205 wide tires)
5 foot ramps
5000# tongue jack (new)
Kobalt aluminum tool box on front

Great trailer - I keep it maintained and spray paint any chips after each use so it does not rust. It is also light weight with the open middle section of the deck (also good to hold extra wheels). I have pulled this with both a Dakota and Tahoe without any issues.

Looking to get $1800 for it.

Let me know if your lined up trailer falls through.
I have a 2005 28' Pace Daytona I may sell. I just moved back to eastern NC so it isn't too far away.

from experience...keep your open trailer, also..for the non-enclosed trips...

Trailer looks good, Ryan. If I had a track car I'd buy it it back from you.

^ Good point! Cass you need this ride I can even bring the silver coupe to my parents' place in Greensboro. They just happen to live right next door to Ryan's parents!

So it'd be one stop shopping
