Hey guys,
I currently do not have a gooseneck but will be getting one soon. I am going to be going across Texas to fix up a rental house that I bought in college. I will be hauling out cabinets, wood, tools, doors, etc. On the trip back, I will be hauling my old boat back. The trailer is old and I just dont trust it on a long trip to not break and lose the boat. The boat is about 17 ft long on the trailer and is aluminum so it isnt more then 2000 lbs, but not sure on the exact weight.

What I am looking for:

I need a trailer that I can rent to go on a gooseneck that will be able to haul this stuff out there and then haul the boat back. I need it to be closed in case of weather and so that I have no worries about things blowing out, etc.

My questions:

Do I need a goose neck for this type of haul? I would like one anyways, but doubt I will use it much.

What kind of gooseneck will I need?

What kind of trailer do I need? I know it should be about 20 ft long.

Where can I get this trailer in the Dallas, Tx area?

Any other tips or advice?

Thanks guys.

 

lokk in the phone book not too many rent gooseneck trailers and most of them will be flatbeds

 

Sounds like you want a flatbed.... Try equipment rental companies. I rented from the local Sunbelt Rental a 25+5 7 ton flatbed. It was a pintle with electric brakes. Something like this should be fine for what you want to do. If i remember right they wanted $100 for a weekend.
