Default Aluminum Trailer for Scarab 29?

Boat has twin 383's, probably weighs 6,500-7,500 lbs (I believe). I plan on taking it long distance (600-700 miles) 4-5 times per year. I live in Tampa, FL and boat in both fresh & salt. I know Myco and Manning are the best, but I''m not sure about spending that much $$$ due to age of the boat. Any other suggestions for my application? Loadmaster? Ace? Others? How much will a good mid-range trailer cost me here? I think I want a tri-axle with the EOH brakes.

Thanks. Owen & Sons vs Loadmaster vs Ace. All seem to be aluminum and built in Tampa area. Which is the best?

What about ACE trailers? They appear to be aggressively priced. Both Loadmaster and Owens are quoting me $6,000+ for a 26-28ft triple axle. I'm having a hard time justifying that when the cost of the boat was under $40,000.

Amertrail in central Florida is what Velocity used on both my 280 and the VR 1. I have been very happy with both of them.

I had an Owens under my 28 Pantera and never had any issues.
