Try a Boat Trader search, might be lucky and find one that is close to you and could just pick it up. Assume you have a vehicle that could handle the GVW and tongue weight of the load?

I keep an eye on Craigslist from time to time. Many of the trailers I find are rough.
I do have a vehicle that will work well for short trips (50 miles round trip, max and usually 10 miles round trip 3 or 4 time per year) not a cross country tow. It is an F150 Ecoboost. Anything more in towing distance would call for a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.

Probably should have a class 2 or 3 frame mounted hitch, not a trailer ball that just bolts into a hole the bumper (if those holes are still in new truck bumpers)?

I have a frame mounted setup and a brake controller. A boat of this size on a bumper would probably tear it right off!

Agree, then with you having a trailer brake controller you will want a trailer with electric brakes?

I have lived with surge brakes and electric brakes on previous trailer. I will definitely go electric for the remainder of my trailer days!

Are you still looking for a trailer? I have a 28' trailer that was made for my Regal 26 XO that is in near perfect condition. I now have the boat in a dry rack and don't need the trailer.

Hello Kurt,
Thank you for checking in. My trailer aspirations are on hold at the moment. We have an unexpected home maintenance project that has hit my trailer budget. Once that is behind us the quest is back on!

Maybe delete your post when you determine you dont have any funds to buy a used trailer. Thanks for posting that your home maintenance project will defer the trailer until a later date. Hop[e your home project goes well.

That’s amazing....I am about to purchase a 2014 2700ES and came to this forum just to talk trailers —- and there’s a thread front and center about the same boat & trailer. Think my first Regal is meant to be.
I’m also looking for a trailer for this used 2700ES, which doesn’t come with one, and the local boat trailer dealer says I need one with bunks specifically designed for the Fastrac hull. This will cost me about one thousand more (4K v 5K), and needs to be ordered v one from his lot.
I did some searching and see a lot of Fastrac hulls on regular, nice but economical, two bunk trailers.
My trailer use will be to get it home, (about 200 miles), then probably about 20 miles total a year; from launch to storage in the fall and then back to launch in the spring.
Any thoughts on this “special” Fastrac trailer setup vs two long bunks?

Oh and please don’t delete this thread yet, unless you guys think I should just start a new one with my question.
Also Kkamrad, I would definitely be interested in your trailer but I’m in VT and it looks like you’re in Kansas City.
