Default Ace Trailer on Top Gun

Is anyone using an Ace Trailer that advertises under the classified? Wondering how they hold up with a 12,000+lb boat.

If it bolts together, its worth .50 cents per pound.

I had a south Florida aluminum bolt together trailer. Didn't have a single issue with it in the 7 years I towed with it. And that was with dunking in ocean. I mean I agree there's way better trailers out there but usually double the price.

I will try and post a pic later but my gladiator has an ACE....with every upgrade and option available...including EOH disc brakes on all axles.

Pulls good, much better then I ever thought. All the way from California to Michigan!

Yep, and I've enjoyed boating in them just as much too!

Not saying a welded aluminum or steel trailer aren't super nice. Just saying from my personal experience with a bolted aluminum trailer that I literally put probably 20+k miles on (towing out to lake Havasu, up to Northern California, and mostly dunking in the Pacific Ocean) I never had one issue. Thing towed nice. Only complain't I had was it was narrow (wheels under the hull) so the bunks were vertical making it tricky to pull the boat onto. Other than that....
