Hi ya'll.
I've got questions need answers.
I have a Sear Gamefisher 13ft aluminum rowboat from the late 80's. I use it two week out of the year; then it sits in the bushes the rest of the time. I'd love to use it more, but its such a pain in the a$$ to transport.
I used to tie it to the roof of my Subaru. The new car has no attachment points (plus its my first new car...ever, and I don't want no scratches).
I'd like to get a trailer for it. Any searches I do via the interwebz either give me people selling boats with trailers, or trailers for much larger boats. Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology when i search.
I thought I'd found an affordable option from Northern Tool (https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_1063_1063) but it lists the top speed at 45mph. I'd need to take it on the highway.
Ultimately, I'd like to pull it behind my Honda Odyssey, Load it with gear, and drag it up to the lake and back; maybe even catch some fish along the way too.
Plus if I could move it alone, I know I'd use it more often. Where I live in NJ there are dozens of lakes and rivers and I hear there might be some fish in 'em.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. What I don't know about trailers would fill a library.
Thanks
