Aluminum trailers

I would think a torsion axle would handle the tight turn stress better than a leafed due to the rubber absorbing the pressure as the tire skids along the pavement. That said the first time I watched my friend back his boat with a triple axle trailer I couldn't believe how much force was being put on the sidewalls of the tires, not to mention bearings and any and everything else.

While I can't quote verbatim b/c I didn't speak w/ them directly the sales and marketing director at Evo did and was told by Dexter that they'd never heard of any such thing. What I was told is that tire construction does not affect axle durability / wear, Dexter Axles that is.

Is there such a thing as an over built trailer?
I don't think others on the road would think so.
If you need to save money, go with a cheaper boat.

I'll add a nod to Owens & Sons. I believe in the Tampa area?
I've seen a trailer built for a 32 Skater that was a very nice looking setup, strong, and seems to be a quality build.
