The boat is a fastech....not an SR1. The option I have now is a loadmaster aluminum with disk brakes, all wheels, disk surge brakes and led lights. This is the Florida loadmaster company, and I guess they will custom fit the boat to the trailer with steps where needed and get the tounge weight correct.
I am considering eoh upgrade based on this feedback....anything else? it will only be in freshwater, but also think I will make sure all hardware is stainless.

Thanks for the feedback....keep the ideas coming.

For that size I would think double is enough. Running down the road I love triples but the maneuverability suffers in tight corners.

Not a fan of aluminum. The one on my last boat floated. Seriously. Not fun when loading

This is very common, and can easily be combated by adding weights and or using non-wood bunks.

Well, based on the feedback, I am changing gears and getting a steel trailer. This is what I had under my powerquest...and it looked great and was fine for fresh water. Should have prices tomorrow from Myco. Aluminum bolted together trailer was going to be almost 7k....and it looked like it belonged under a fishing boat. Gonna paint it to match the boat. Plan to do eoh, add a spare and bracket.

Any need to do disc over drum? Had drums on my last trailer and it was fine...

choices, when I built mine for my 271 I went 4 wheels drum surge, really it was awesome, now that i have a newer truck I may have chose the EOH option,

If you are going to pay Myco coin, go ahead and go aluminum. They can paint it to match just like a steel trailer.
I would never, ever buy a steel trailer. You are decimating your resale market, as most folks do not want to spend coin on a trailer when they are scraping two nickels together to buy their next boat. Buy the aluminum so anyone near a coast will have no qualms on buying it.

I guarantee you that an aluminum Myco will NOT float. I'll put a steak dinner on it.

Also, while you are at it; call Ron at Manning trailer in Michigan. Their quality is right up there with Myco. Their price is not. He can also do welded aluminum.

Welded aluminum cracks with flex. There's not too much to a boat trailer

Still shopping...but got the prices for the Myco and a Manning. Looks like there is a big advantage to going with the Manning......
So far, I will EOH disk,
16" wheels
2 7k axles
Spare tire and mount

Other options could be cad coated calipers and stainless rotors
Tool box
Reverse lights.

Any opinions on these options? I kind of like the idea of a box for chocks and other stuff.

Thoughts?
