Okay everyone, I am having trouble making this decision on my own and need everyone's expertise, input, or opinions. I'm purchasing a Sunfish on the East Coast and I need to get it back to Colorado. I can:
a. have it shipped to Colorado and buy a trailer for it here when it arrives. In just a preliminary search it's about $950 to ship, then purchase trailer $500-$1000... most costly
option
b. buy a trailer on the way, already have a possible option a Load Rite 14F1000WT for $950, pick it up and drive back myself. Visit family, see some sights...
c. pick up, tie it to the top of my Tacoma, drive back and buy a trailer here.
As a side note, the Load Rite trailer is nice and sturdy for driving across country, I could probably really pimp this rig out with pvc tubes for mast/boom storage. If I got it back here some other way I would probably buy a Trailex trailer- lighter, more maneuverable- I could move it by hand, more expensive, but not necessarily as sturdy for a cross-country trip.
Let me know if I'm missing something or if there is an obvious solution here.
