      Take your boat trailer out and wash it. Use soaps and detergents to get your trailer looking like brand new all over again. Pay attention to the bright work. Try to remove any rust and invest in replacing any parts that are beyond repair or cleaning.

      Check the air and grips of the tires to see if they are road worthy. If the tires are not up to a safety level, buy new ones.

      Polish the outside of the trailer and wax it for an extra shine and presentation. Trailers are not the most beautiful looking transports so the newer it looks, the better your chances of selling it at a top price.

      Check out the usual selling websites like Ebay.com and buyandsell.com. However, you should focus your efforts on sites devoted to boating such as iboats.com and iboatshop.com. You can postphotos and features about your trailer. Buyers can preview what you have to offer and make an offer or an appointment to examine the trailer.

      Ask around. If your friends and family are boaters as well, they might be able to help you with selling your boat trailer. Put advertisements up in your local grocery store or community center. People often look at these boards for good deals on equipment and other items. However, as with the websites, focus on your market. Find out if you can post advertisements at the local marina, boating repair shops and boating equipment stores.
