I live in jax and have only used my boat in the river a handful of times. Boat is in great condition but trailer not much. 1 dip in the brackish water and its inside the trailer frame and that's all it takes. New aluminum trailers for inboards are $4000 plus. Some people go with generic trailers like a center console is on but then the boat sits really high. My friend went this cheap route and he couldn't put his boat in the water at low tide. So go ahead and figure that price in with the boat if the trailer is about to go. You may want to check for boats around palatka, interlachen, Ocala. It's about an hour away but all fresh water lakes. I am in julington creek area but we have a lake house close to Ocala. Plenty of inboards out there.
