Which boat trailer?

I need to buy a aluminum trailer for my 32 fountain and have been looking at http://www.manningmarine.com/ and of course Myco.

Myco gave me a price quote for a dual axel, Electric over hydraulic disk brakes for 12.5K.

For the same trailer manning is $7500. Is the Myco really worth the extra 5K? They both are welded aluminum, and C channel. Does anyone else have a manning aluminum? Seems to be a huge difference in price.

Anyone else I should be looking at?

I had Ron and Pam build my trailer back in 07. Very nice work. and In my opinion right up there with Myco. I would go for the Manning for the price difference. Their work is top noctch and I would recommend them to anyone!

Phil, do you plan on towing all the time? A buddy had a Manning under his 34 PQ. I would put it right next to a Myco. Do you think you would recoup the extra cost of the Myco if/ when you sell?

Does Myco have a trade-in program?

I would look at McClain as well. Myco is beautiful stuff but they are just stupid with there prices and there is no justification for it.

$12,500....Thats ridiculous for a 32' aluminum trailer.
Shogren has some trailers on his website you might be interested in.

Hey Jerry, your cruiser looked good on my old errr rented lift!

Yea we will have to tow all the time, and no I don't think the Myco would bring me 5K more when I sell. I am trying to get cost right now, closed cooling, and sea strainers are on my "want" list. Beginning to think I shouldn't put this kind of money in the 32.

40ICBM, thanks for the picture, good looking trailer and boat.

Back4More,

Yea you are right there. I couldn't believe the price.

35 fountain,

Do you have one, can you post a picture?

Thanks Guys, this helps.
