Looking for trailer, Who is a goog MFG?
I just bought a 38 Donzi and need a trailer. I know that Myco is the best but trying to swallow the 10K for a trailer is very hard. I plan on using this trailer a couple of times a year.
Does anybody have any feed back on all those aluminum boat mfg out there? Sure are a lot.
What is the next best trailer on the market?

There are a few trailer manufacturers out there. I had a South Florida trailer,(look to the left on this board) , there is also towmaster, www.towmastertrailer.com, and nexrail, and a whole bunch of others. There were several threads within the last few weeks as well that you may want to do a search on. Do you boat in fresh or salt water? Congrats on the new Donzi.
I never had any problems with my aluminum trailer, and my next trailer is also aluminium.

When I need a new trailer I'm going to look very hard at South Florida trailers. I like the people down there. You'll save a couple thousand pounds of towing weight with an alum.

I've also been very happy with my SFT trailer under my 28' boat, and Jay Castaline at SFT is a great guy. They helped me out with some replacement parts even though the trailer was out of warranty. They're very conscientious about using corrosion-resistant parts, like stainless hardware, torsion axles (no spring leaves to corrode) and galvanized brakes. (These are options on some trailers.)
Eagle Trailers in Michigan has apparently just started building aluminum trailers. I was very happy with a steel one I had under a 21' boat, and they do most of Formula's trailers as well.
Myco builds in aluminum as well as steel.

I have and E-Z Loader aluminum that was under my boat when I bought it. A previous owner bought it in'95 and it seems to have held up very well.
A co-worker bought an aluminum one to replace a steel trailer and says that it's the best move he's made.

Hi Clark,I also have dealt with Jay at www.southfloridatrailers.com and found them to build a superior product and have no problem doing custom requests. The torsion arm setup is great, much better than the old spring style.All my hardware is stainless, brake lines are stainless,lights are led style. The web page above will also give pricing, I dont think anybody else will do that. Good luck, Mark B.
