Manning or Myco. Can't go wrong with either of them.

I have a 2015 platinum under my boat. I believe they are the same company as Nextrail. It's fine I guess for what it is, but I wouldn't put any of the I beam trailers in the same class as welded aluminum like Myco or Manning. I would take a steel trailer over any I beam any day, but I live a long way from salt.

when the OP said no to myco, my guess its because of price. He can confirm for sure. With that said, mannings are close to the cost of myco's. So that might not be a viable option. I'd seriously consider a real extreme. They are in Miami. It's a boot together but one of the nicer ones available. They don't cut corners and you can upgrade on wheels, I beams, tires, brakes, etc. you will find they are competitively priced. Likely sub 11k.

If investing in a new trailer that I wanted to be top of the line:
-Myco
-Manning
-Evolution Trailers looks to be an up & comer:

I would not put a bolt-together aluminum trailer under a 40' long boat.

I think you'll find most top manufactures use the same off the shelf components (hubs, wheels, axles & brakes) so it comes down to the quality & workmanship. Like the integral ramps Evo incorporates into their builds just in case you find the end of the boat ramp the hard way.
PS- I HIGHLY recommend the Goodyear G614 RST Tires over Marathons or others. 14ply, 110psi, no sidewall crush/flex. Worth the extra $$ IMO

Who besides Myco makes a great aluminum trailer ?? I am looking at a Baja 40 Outlaw and I need a trailer. It has to be heavy duty as the boat is big and heavy. Looking at Nextrail, Ameritrail. Any other ones out there I am missing ??
Edit : Myco and Manning are great trailers, but too pricey for me. Would like to be in the 10-12K range.
Thanks

ALL of the bolt-together aluminum trailers are a step BELOW the welded ones.
Source your own wheels & tires, HUNDREDS of threads on trailer tires. (BTW, don't by ST trailer tires.)
Also, make sure you go with EoH brakes as well.
Skimping on the trailer is not the place to save money on your boat purchase; ESPECIALLY if the boat is going to "live" on the trailer, and you will be towing it a lot.

I have an EVO, nice trailer & well built.

And holy fark that's a helluva tire! Just looked it up, and I totally get where you are coming from.

I agree, no bolted together trailers. I looked at the Evolution site and they look very nice. And offer really heavy duty stuff. I will call them for sure.
