2014 Sundowner 2 Horse Gooseneck Float

The electric jack is the giveaway. Somebody specified this 2014 Sundowner two horse gooseneck float for regular use by one person — winding a manual jack under a loaded gooseneck is a two-handed, bad-tempered job, and an electric one removes it entirely.

All aluminium, 16-inch wheels, 3.66 m box, described as clean as new.

Sixteen-inch wheels

A larger rim takes a taller tyre with more sidewall and a higher load rating, and it runs cooler at highway speed because the tyre turns more slowly. On a float that will do long trips in summer, that is a meaningful durability difference over the 15-inch wheels fitted to most floats in this class.

Hitching a gooseneck single-handed

Between the electric jack and the natural alignment tolerance of a gooseneck coupling, this is one of the easier floats to hitch on your own. That matters more than it sounds — the person who has to find a second pair of hands every time eventually stops using the float.
