How about Craigslist? Could be a bit of phone/leg work if looking at used stuff but occassionally there are some out of Miami that "look" new at least.
Just about all of your "economy" trailers out of Tampa are built all the same...out of the Loadmaster catalog. Biggest thing to look out for is painted instead of galvanized hubs.

I just spoke to norm over at tarpon trailers and he confirmed that they are
Carlise tires and he's only had a handful of issues in 30,000 tires:Whatever
Funny iv'e had 2 blowouts in less than 1500 miles and my spare has a 6" bubble and has never been on the trailer ? Interesting?

Two rear tires were brand new. This is what Carlise got me.

I recommend Goodyear Marathons for tires. I have an Aluminium Slide On (Owens and Sons). They are out of St. Pete, more $$ then Tarpon but I have been very pleased with quality.

I put Goodyear Marathon tires on my trailer last year. What a difference!!
As for the Tarpon trailer, My brother bought one and has not had any issues at all. They are the same as Nextrail as per the guy who delivered it. It has alot of options and was still priced real well.
