been looking for an aluminum to replace the steel I have now.......

was talking to a guy on the weekend who says his aluminum trailer floats when he drops it in and getting the boat on it is a challange but he doesnt care too much cause he only trailers a few times a year........and this is in fresh

I trailer every time out and want no part of that.......do they all float????

tell him to slow his ass down when he's backin it in! haha!

he probably has a lightweight alum trailer with large wooden bunks and foam carpeting or pads on them or has too much psi in the tires..

the only alum trailer ive had that floated was from a little fishing boat back in the day..

just my two cents, the last two i had didnt float.. they were both 27' trailers though.. itd take quite a bit to float one of those..

No, they definately do not ALL float. I have posted numerous posts on this topic.

I had an aluminum trailer under my 311 and it did float! It was a pain in the ass. My father also had one under his 272 that floated but not nearly as bad as mine.

My new myco aluminum doesn't float and is awesome to tow . I tow everytime I boat and feel the extra $$$$ was worth it to me . I have a friend with a rocket that does float a little but he deals with it without to much trouble .

Ive seen two now that didn;t float until the owners replaced the galvanized wheels with aluminum..

And I know of a few al Myco's that float....

Triple axles float more often that two axle ones. The buoyancy of two more tires is the culprit I have a 10,000 tandem with bunks and it does NOT float.
