What's a 1994 tandem C-Hawk trailer worth?

Hello guys,

I have a friend that had his checkmate Pulsare totaled. My checkmate didn't come with a C Hawk trailer and instead came with a single axle galvanized steal trailer. His trailer is the color of my boat and a tandem. It's a 1994, has surge brakes and was repainted about 6 years ago. He bought the boat back from the insurance company and has a potential buyer. He's willing to trade trailers with me and cash. What do you think his trailer is worth and what do you think a fair price would be? He gave me a number of $1500 and a swap. Seems way too high. He says his trailer is worth 2k which also seems high. Thoughts?

I'd guess $500.00-$1000.00 with a trade. However if his buyer will pay the same regardless of trailer I think a case of beer is a fair asking price.

A nearly 25 year old trailer? I'd say its worth $1000 if in tip top condition.

Does anyone know how much a new C Hawk trailer was when they were still in business recently?

That galvanized trailer might be better than the painted, especially if it's newer. That '94 trailer is now 23 years old and has been repainted 6 years ago.

SCT warned me about a little known problem with some of the older C-Hawk trailers: Look at the axles. Are the drain holes top/bottom? Or are the axles' drains mis-installed front/back? Be wary of rotted axles from miss-installed drain orientation. My 1995 tandem Pulsare trailer axle drains were miss-installed front/back. Water gets in the axles and has no way to get out.
