McClain trailers builds a nice one. They are in South Houston. Sorry I don't have their number. Also Magnum in Austin.

I can tell you who not to use. Instigator out of Houston are scammers! Screwed my trailer up, and refused to make it right.

Awesome Jeff.... congratulations on your new purchase, I am also jealous as I also want to move up to something bigger and have been looking at the 47's among others.

Keep us posted as to when you get her home and let us know how sweet the ride is. Pics, pics & pics.

ofcourse the best would be Myco but they are far from you. your best bet would be McClain trailers...Or look for used but like new Myco. there's plenty in TX

Dorsey makes a good trailer. They are in Oklahoma. Did you buy the 47 from a dealer?

jeff32 09-18-2009 02:36 PM

Ok that's Dallas. Otherwise I would recommend McClain also http://www.mcclaintrailers.com/

I would not recommend Magnum. Service after the sale is terrible and trailer part/options are waaaay overpriced. Tires on my triple axle were 14" and should have been 15" considering the weight of the boat and trailer.

bgchubby had access to a trailer for a 47 Fountain. It was owned by a friend of mine to move his 400SS Formula. H20 Toie bought it to move his 400SS. He posts on the other site and may be able to help you.

jeff32 10-20-2009 10:24 PM

ive personally had magnum trailers for everything from ATVs to 23' Mastercrafts to 400ss aluminum goosenecks to 38' lightning aluminum bumper pull to a 42' Lightning steel bumber pull and never had any probelms with any of them. Recently had a friend out of Dallas ditch their McClain trailer and have a Magnum built for their 47 Lightning. Service has always been top notch for me. I dont think you'll find anyone who can fabricate a trailer for a 47 in a week unless they have one already built. Good luck.

jeff32 10-21-2009 04:42 PM

i know... but if I can find a used one...

What didn't he like about the McClain trailer? They look as if they're built like a brick s*%#house. Just curious, they are on my short list if I upgrade my trailer.

You couldn't give me a Road Runner trailer. Not worth the price of steel they are made out of.

Dorsey trailers by Dorsey is located in Kingfisher, Oklahoma.

Dorsey is said to have some new trailers that have been repo'ed from dealers.

Their trailers should be acceptable.
