Trailer info needed
I own a 2000 - 38' Fastech and I am looking to buy a trailer. I am leaning towards a steel painted trailer from Loadmaster out of Pt. Clinton, Ohio. Has anyone had experience with this company?

Call Great Lakes Marine in Michigan. I know they have a spotless Manning Trailer that was set up specially for an 03' 38' Fastech. It is red in color. |

The one they made for my formula 311 didn fit worth a damn and rusted like crazy in one year. Run away from them. They shot the paint right over rusted steel, no primer, no prep. Weld splatter everywhere. Was the worst thing I ever bought. The only good part about that trailer was the electric brakes.

Re: Trailer info needed
Yes I have the Loadmaster that was built over in Tampa. I'm fine with aluminium, just not THIS aluminum. The boat is a pain in the butt to load and is never on the trailer right. I have to drive on level ground slowly then slam on the brakes to bring the boat forward into the correct place. I can't back the trailer down too far for loading because it starts floating around. The brake actuator is always sticking, I've gone through the system and nothing appears to be wrong but I have to pop it free before I back down and have to get the trailer way into the water before the boat breaks free. If I had the cash, I'd get a MYCO. I have a Performance aluminum on my 22' Stingray and that trailer is much better. Easy to unload/load and just an overall better trailer.

Re: Trailer info needed
Well at least my brakes work, I think I'll call them too and find out how I can make the actuator release easier but it does release when I hit the gas from a stop. I put guide ons on and that helps with loading but I don't have forward bunks. I have the PVC bar so I have to not sink the trailer too much when loading. I keep the fronts of the fenders out of the water. But you're right, it's a little bit of a pain by yourself which is usually how I load it. I just think the trailer plain sucks and when the money's right, I'll get a better one.
