I called Remackel on Monday.  I think I spoke to the owner based on the way he talked.  The price for the 4 canoe trailer is $2,775 and the price for a two canoe trailer is $2,700.  All the trailers come with the box, canvas cover, spare tire and all the others things shown on their website.  The only option is upgrading to LED lights for $50.  The rack comes off and then you have a utility trailer with 24 inch sides.  I think the only reason not to buy the Remackel trailer is the price.  The box is 5 feet by 8 feet.

Jimbo, you will probably be surprised at how much use you will get out out of a simple utility trailer, in addition to using it to haul your canoes.
I would strongly reccomend the LED light option.  I have replaced the standard lights on my fishing boat trailer and my utylity/4wheeler/canoe trailer with the LED lights.  They simply always work and are more rugged.

Maybe Jimbo will charge his trip partners a per-mile fee for hauling their gear to and from the Park; he'll have this thing paid off in no time!

That 5' x8' bed is trouble. A bed that size will only lead to over-packing!  Grin

Should fit nicely into a 5x8 canoe. Wink

Wow Jimbo the size and cost of your yearly Copia indulgence is getting serious.
I won't be surprised if one of these years you try to buy one of the Subarus they always have on display.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

Early this week I did what Westwood did & called "Dennis" at Remackel & got the scoop on pricing, etc.  I'm arranging to meet him on Saturday morning at Copia.  Don't know for sure yet if I'll buy this year or next but I WILL buy.  I'm having a trailer hitch installed on my vehicle on Tuesday, in any case.

Everyone I've spoken with re: the Remackel trailer tells me the thing is indestructible... and that's what I'm looking for.  I doubt I'll be hauling one home from Copia (their factory is only a few miles from my house so, when the time comes, I'll just go pick one up) but you never know.

KF, the fact is I WAS in the market for one of those Subaru's but that issue got resolved last week.  My "new" vehicle is much better suited for toting a trailer than for throwing canoes on top of it.  That's sort of what prompted this crusade in the first place.

Later,

Jimbo   Cool
