SPARE with new trailer??

[moater]

Excuse my ignorance but I'm just wondering if you get a spare wheel & tyre when you buy a new trailer not part of a boat motor/trailer/package??

I bought a new outboard to put on a boat but then sold the boat when I came into some extra $$.I kept the new donk and bought a Sea Jay 4.55 on a Dunbier trailer- both brand new.

Just wondering if I've been short-changed a bit?? :-/

I bought a quintrex a few years ago and the pakage didn't come with a spare, that was an extra i had to buy. Seems to be the norm with new bmt pakages

I bought a bmt package just over 12 months ago and a spare was not included but an option.

Hi Mate,

I purchased a New boat, motor and trailer package in June 07, and a spare wheel was not included in the deal.

They are an extra for extra cost.

Cheers

Yeah can't you be booked for not having a spare in you car? or is that you can be booked only for having a spare that is not useable - the law works in mystery at times.

You do come across some dealers that supply a spare in the package but doesn't seem to be that often.
The money we pay for our boats should already include spare tyres.
Not sure on the laws off carrying spares though

My boat didn't come with a spare but I used my 200 Yammie Dollars to buy one, it was $150 so had 50 Bucks to upgrade lights to LED's.

Yeah i've bought 3 new boat/trailer packages and only got a spare once but even then i never got the carrier.The new boat i bought last year never came with one but he did offer me one for about $230 i said no thanks.Dan.....

I also got one with my fin of theo when i bought it...matt

[Poseidon]

I am with Matt on this one, Theo at Mr T's threw a spare in with my Bluefin as well.

I made it conditional of the sale and he obliged without batting an eyelid.

Ask and you may receive.

They too bloody dear though. I am about to buy a 17" high performance tyre for my wifes car and thats only $210.

On the legal side I dont think it is a requirement to carry a spare as it is not a safty issue, only an inconvenience for you but if the spare is unroadworthy then you have a problem as it is a safty issue if you fit that wheel

[plaztix]

Mine didn't come with one but it was an optional extra.

Looking at getting one as i feel its only a matter of time before i'm one of those poor buggers on the side of the road with a lop sided trailer and an empty esky on the back of a flat bed tow truck:P
