Purchasing a new trailer for 2006 30 Outlaw.The dealer is reccomending a trailer with a weight rating of 8625. It is a Venture aluminum triple axle. According to Baja's site the boat
weighs in at 6900lbs dry. Does this trailer sound like it will do the job? Also, I trailer one trip (400 miles round trip each year) besides beginning of season to marina and end of season to storage the boat sits on trailer at marina. Thanks in advance.

Just my opinion:
Venture may have regular bunk trailers, but the ones I've seen had two boards like on edge. one on each side. If I were going to leave the boat on the trailer any length of time, I would want a full bunk trailer to spread the weight out.
I know Ventures are reasonably priced, but unless you run salt, I vote for an Eagle. Not the highest priced, and not a Myco, but reasonably priced, and strong as ****. Just look at the support tubes for the bunks. Rectangular tubing. Not U channel, not "C" channel. The frame and crossmembers are all rectangular channel.
Thee are a lot of trailers out there that have bunk supports made out of 1/4" strap steel, welded to the cross members. Not nearly as strong.

I don't know where your located, but Heritage builds a great trailer. They're made in Southern Illinois. If you want used try Great Lakes Skipper, they bought a bunch of trailers from Baja.

Contact Bill at Performance Custom Trailers.

He is a stand up guy. When I needed to upgrade from drums on my Performance Trailer, he heard about my story on OSS about my drums failing and CONTACTED ME to say "Hey bring it to me and I'll give you a great deal to upgrade to discs"

Bill did a phenominal job on my triple axle trailer for my 33 Outlaw. I tow it regularly with my 04 Nissan Armada from NNJ to Lake George and if not for that trailer, I doubt that I could tow that boat as well as I do.

JBOUTLAW Grand Sportcenter in has a Heritage trailer ready to go. It's black and tripple axle. Here is the link not sure what you price on the other one was.
It's the last one on the page. Ask for Max he will take care of you. Tell him Rob K. sent you.

I have an eagle under my boat. it has 4 bunks that run most of the length of the boat. Two on each side of the keel. everything is box tubing and solid welds. nothing on the trailer is bolted on. so far it has been a perfect trailer. for the money it is a great piece.

Thanks for all of the input guys. I am trying to keep the purchase on the cheaper side as I really don't tow the boat often. I will look at some other brands also. I am in Ct and the dealers West/South want a ton of money to ship. Thats partially the reason I'm looking at this one. Thanks again. Jason

The more the better for the best support of your boat.

I highly recommend TORSION Axles over leaf spring axles.

Also ways look at the SERVICE FACTOR over actual load capacity. I have seen many dealers sell just enough trailer to get the customer out the door because they want to keep the overall price low and competitive. If you have a boat with a 6000 lb dry weight and a trailer with an 8000 lb capacity you have now over loaded the trailer when you add the traqiler weight, fuel weight and gear into the total weight.

For example my Myco weighs 2000 lbs, but boat weighs 8400 lbs, fuel weighs 1645 lbs, gear weighs 500 lbs so I am now at a total weight of 12,545 lbs and would be safe to call it 13K lbs to be sure I did not miss anything. My trailer however has axles and load range "E" tires rated for a total load of 18,000 lbs wich gives me a 28% service factor so my trailer is not always stressed and strained carrying the max load all the time. I can tell you first hand with over 70K miles towed now that this makes a huge difference and keeps you on the road instead of on the side of the road.

You will not be trailering much but a good trailer is well worth the money and there have been some good recommendations given above.

Happy shopping

6900lbs was the base model on the 30ol, no options what so ever, small blocks, no swim platform, no galley, base stereo, no gas, etc. 8000 to 8500lbs is closer to a real world number. Add gas and baggage to that. I second the comment about Heritage. I have towed 1000s of miles around the east coast and midwest on a triple axle Heritage. Great trailer, great value.

sounds like they are using a triple axle with 3 3,500 axles...not enough IMO. I tow often but not far. A nice aluminum I beam will do fine for your needs but get it with (3) 5,000 lbs axles. They are worth the extra money as stated. I too will never have anything but torsion axles and disk brakes.....mine was built with (3) 6,000 lbs axles, all stainless hardware and LED lights, 2 spare tires on spare hub spindles, etc. and has been a great value for the money.
