    Looking for a 7' x 12' or 7' x 14 ' deck size trailer, min 3500# single axel, prefer galvanized but would settle on painted, aluminum is out of the question ..............anyone have one in good shape, been looking used but not much out there, Covid pricing is still alive and well.....many 10 year old models close to the price of new. Not opposed to new either, anyone know a good dealer/retailer to check out. Picture for reference.

    Question, why are you against aluminum? Is it because they don't flex but break especially in the cold?

    Metal Valley ones look nice. Westside Honda in Selkirk sells Marlon Trailers that are made in St. Andrews. I looked for quite a while for a 8x14 and settled on a 7x14. I found a decent used deal otherwise I was days from buying something new.

    Metal Valley Manufacturing products are fantastic, their prices are also fantastic .....they are tough, galvanized and bolted not welded (that is the picture I posted, as pictured it sells for $3049)......... but their decks are only 76" wide, my skid house is 75" wide........just too tight, really too bad. I have been speaking to Kyle the owner and they are looking at making a wider version next year, maybe!

    Brand new painted at metro was already showing rust in the parking lot… guy said “that’s just the way they are”
    . Same size aluminum was 400$ more. No brainer to not have a rust bucket in 2 years.
