It is a Load Rite standard model 14F1000WT with 12 inch torsion wheels which came in at $850. Added $125 for LED lights, mast support and Jack stand.

Thanks for the reply. I could not find any used options so I ended up contacting a Catalina dealer who sells the Expo 14.2 (same hull) and he set me up with a new Load Rite trailer which I picked up directly at their nearby factory.

Put my new to me 1989 Capri 14.2 at my slip space at Lake Nockamixon (PA) last Friday. On the way home, a monster pickup drove over my Shoreland’r trailer while I was stopped at a light. Could be worse since my boat was thankfully still at the lake. Most marine dealers in my area are not...

I am planning on buying a 1989 14.2 this weekend but I have rain water concerns. I will be keeping the boat in the water at a dock slip at a state park. The boat may go unattended for a couple of weeks at a time and need to know if rain water will self drain if I remove the transom plug. I had...
