      Allan, the ad indicates "west valley" Yakima. So central Washington.

        And he is selling the boat and motor. I think it just Happens to be on that trailer.
        I don't think the fellow knows what he has for a trailer. Looks like the stock winch is still on front along with the electric winch.

        So, its closer to you than me
        If you can unload the boat and motor, it might pay for the trailer.
        Make the motor run and pickup some other trailer and that would make a nice little lake boat for sure.

        Nice little motor, electric start. Those are still good little motors too.

          While they are cool trailers, is there some sort of significant history with them? They seem to have quite the following, especially on fiberglassics.com

            At least for me, I like anything retro and tee nee trailers fit the bill. I collect old flashlights 1930s to 70s. So I can entertain myself pretty simple.

                On Saturday Sue and I travelled off the Island and overnighted in Cle Elum on our way over to Ahtanum. Sunday morning we drove down the old river road along the Yakima River into Ellensburg then joined the Interstate into Union Gap. We drove up the Yakima Valley to find the little land-locked gem. Tim and his wife Stacy purchased a new home and as part of the move are down sizing projects. They kept their 1958 Glasply but needed to let the Bellboy go.

                Tim, his buddy John, helped pull and push the Tee Nee trailer with its 14 foot Bellboy cargo onto our carry trailer. We strapped it tight and headed West. Traffic was polite as we drove no more than 55 mph as anything greater caused a sway. Sue served as lookout where traffic merged, and looked forward over traffic in anticipation of intersections. With only three stops to check tie downs, we passed over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge at dusk and made it back onto the Island safely.

                The little Bellboy is a doll, the 35 Johnson outboard matches perfect, the Tee Nee trailer, priceless.

                A good weekend.

                    Helmar,

                    My iPhone photos fail to load with an error message as too large. Any suggestion on posting photos would be appreciated.

                    The trip was fun.

                      Someone else might know how but for me, I have to Email it to myself and get it on my Notebook.
                      Once I go to Email the picture, I have several options to what size and am able to size it down to email it.
                      Hope that helps....

                        Allan-
                        What a cool catch, plus a road trip to E Wash !
                        Gotta love the 50's Johnsons, Erudes Bell Boys and Tee Nee's !!!!
                        Joe/Helmar helped me with this Tee Nee restoration by selling me the fenders. Had a lot of altering to get the fenders to fit the trailer. Apparently there were different designs over the years. Someone in the Mid West classic boating community has a tandem axle Tee Nee under his Dorsett cruiser ! Had the trailer sandblasted, custom fit those fenders, made the Tee Nee decals, tail light bar, painted, put rubber roller pieces in the center channel as well as carpet in the center channel. Rick Love had some
                        Tee Nee ID plates made a few years ago and could emboss the serial # of the particular trailer. Cool.

                        Nice combo/ winter project ![ATTACH]16950[/ATTACH]

                            That looks pretty ok but now you can make the picture file a tad larger.
                            If you see anything that says 600x800 you nailed it.

                            More, more.....We need more pictures

                            Looks as you were more than ready for the trip. No fussing with wiring lights, packing bearings or anything.
