Default loadmaster trailer- what do you think?

New boat, 353 formula fastec. I just wanted to hear feedback on a loadmaster trailer. I know Myco is the ultimate, but I only trailer a couple of times per year. I would much rather put the money into the boat. Thanks

I have a loadmaster. I think that it works fine. I have towed for 5 hours one way and it didnt skip a beat. It is somewhat creaky, but overall I am happy with it.

I have a Loadmaster, also. They are a little creaky, but I haven't had any issues with mine. I have trailered 2+ hours multiple times with no complaints.

Yes, the place in Ohio. I'm not sure if I like the word "creaky" associated with a long trailer. Would anyone like to expand on the creaking? Also, how about the loading of the boat on the trailer, does it center ok?

My trailer has a ton of miles on it.I have had no problems with it.I launch and load by myself,the boat centers fine.Any trailer with multiple axles will make creaking sounds when you are jockying it around,I guess binding would be a good term for it.

I own a 18900 lb gvw Loadmaster and I believe its well engineered for a mid-priced trailer. Its not a Myco but your not paying Myco prices and would be entirely suitable for your application. Good luck.....

I had a new one built in 01. I tow 200 miles every weekend, and havent even replaced a bearing yet. I couldnt ask for a better bunk setup, drive on, crank on it doesnt matter it centers every time. Its hard to beat an open "c channel" construction on a steel trailer, it can not rot from the inside out. The fact that the bunks are fully adjustable will also make it easier to sell if you ever decide to. they do tend to "creak" a little but its nothing to worry about. If I even buy another steel trailer it will be a LM.
