I’m the 2^nd owner. 1^st owner (Scott Marquardt) special ordered and purchased from Diamond Marine in 2004 then added the 280 a year later. I purchased from Scott in 2008. I have all original paperwork, full documentation including excel spreadsheet of every item since new which I can send to legitimate buyers. I have documented over $47K in boat.

nice pkg.

I wouldn't let that be your deciding factor on a boat this nice, you can always purchase a different trailer, single axle much easier for moving it around the garage....just saying

[john4utvols]

Sorry I have never been satisfied with a single axle. It has to look as good as it does on water as it does on the trailer. by the time I pay taxes and buy a tandem that's another $5k.

As far as duel axles, why not just add an axle, fenders, wheels to the existing trailer?

[john4utvols]

Sorry Walter I will clear that up. The tandem is a personal preference.

[MiamiStvEuro]
