Just to clarify, the SD518 is actually 17 feet long. I know they market it as an 18, but its not. Mine are all the same length, but I dont think it would matter as long as 1. You're getting full length coverage of the floorboards, and 2. You are able to ensure that the inter floor board joints are all in or close to the center of the support beams. Meaning the strut has equal mounts of length on each side of every floor joint up to the wood panels which should be free to flex a bit.

Which trailer do you recommend for saturn 13 ft, sd series?

Trailers are tricky because they come in so many variations. A 13 footer is going to be way easier to find one for than mine. I would say that a Jet Ski trailer with the right bunk setup and a long tongue would work well for you. They seem to be pretty easy to come by on Marketplace. The bunks are just pressure treated 2x4s or 2x6s. The carpeting and brackets can be found on Amazon.

Thanks for watching! If I end up breaking the boat down for any reason, I'll see about doing a seperate video on the Support Rails. Although I think I can just show a close up picture with them in and it would give you a really good idea. Mine are also loose until I build up air pressure, I believe thats normal.

@@donaldmartin4620 Boats To Go is local to me here in S FL, and I’ve owned there SD488 as well a few years ago. As a company, they are a value brand. Value doesn’t mean bad, just means giving you a fair product at a fair price. Other brands that I won’t list by name are basically the exact same product with better marketing and 4-5 times the price. I am not sponsored by Saturn in any way, and speak only from the position of what I consider “Fair”. To me it’s unfair to sell an equivalent product for 4 times the price. It’s the way of the world these days. Go to your main Brand grocery store and pay $7 for a jar of Mayo, or go to Walmart and pay $5. It’s the same product, why pay more? These Companies are banking on you won’t take the time to do the research and assume that because it costs so much more, it must be better. PVC boats are cheap and effective, they’re in no way luxury items and should cost as much as a fiberglass boat. At the same time, you have to accept some compromises. Shipping Companies do the best they can to get a very heavy item delivered in one piece. Minor scuffs and such are annoying, but par for the course these days. As long as there’s no significant damage, I’d consider it good to go. Otherwise it should filed as shipping damage and the shipper is responsible for a replacement. I think anyone who has opened a new Saturn can attest to how well they a packaged, and I think that’s why they are able to ship as many boats as they do all over the country without catastrophic damage. Otherwise, all these companies would be out of business.
