What is sitting under your Sonic ?
 

Time to purchase a new trailer. Our last trailer was a painted steel trailer. Looked great, handled great, but just couldn't stand up to the salt water.

What brand of trailers are popular out there for your Sonics ?

Mine's on a Myco...it looks great,everyone says they're great,I think they need a better winch:rolleyes:

My first trailer was a LoadMaster bunk tri-axle.
How about Load-Rite Aluminum, any opinions out there ?

My pop's 26 has a LR under his from Offshore Performance(MD) ,its a nice trailer but never seen one under anything larger.

I've got a tri Manning in white which came with 31 sonic, thinking of going to an aluminum.

I've ordered two fastloads in the past and had been very happy with them and the price. Always got disc kodiak brakes, stainless hardware package and you can add extra set of rear bunks.. Having 4 upright bunks in the rear is nice. Sold those trailers with the boats.

I've been looking at the loadrite and sea loader at Pirate Marine, but the price is a bit too high so continuing to look around. Looking for aluminum with short tongue, short tongue on manning is nice compared to FastLoad which has a long tongue due to running I beams all the way forward. I beams running all the way forward is nice and clean look, but makes for a longer rig...

Saw that Techsun just started advertising here and have welded aluminum and aluminum fith wheel... going to check them out.

Anyone know a place dealing good prices on loadrite or sea loader?

A friend of mine sells Load Rite. I'll talk to him and see what he can do. He can usually get any trailer pretty quick.

One of our 42's had a South Florida, another a Fast Load, and our 45 has a Seahawk.

I have a painted steel Myco and think it's great. The only thing that I didn't like about it was the rubber bumpers up by the winch. The boat would stop moving up on the trailer as soon as it touched them. Made it tough to trailer on steap ramps and without putting a towel on the bumpers for slip I couldn't get the boat to nest in tightly. Then I had this stupid looking towel flapping in the wind.:mad:

The cure was to remove the bumpers and support arm and build the front bunks on the trailer further up to nest and support the boat.:eek: I was a little worried how it work out but it's great. Getting the boat on the trailer is easy and no more bounceing on the nose from being loose on the bumpers.:D

I'd love to see some pics of the set up.Thanks,Mike

I'll get some pictures this weekend. I'm taking my boat over to GSC to get it sold so it may be my last photo opportunity.

I have a Myco made for a 35' Sonic for sale in the OSO classifieds........(917)682-2342..............John

I have had Eagle, Manning, and now Myco. They all were good but I cant say enough about Myco Trailers.

Nice looking barn in the pics.
Yours? Who built it?

I actually just purchased the boat this week and am still awaiting delivery...........the barn I think is from somewhere in Kentucky..........................

That's a real nice trailer. Don't want to dunk it in salt water?

FiremanRD, what location does your friend sell Load Rite trailers?

Looking at the 29'-32' triaxle.

He stocks trailers for duck boats but can get anything. His business is a fishing & hunting store. The last trailer I got from him took about a week to come in.

ECB, you want alum. I-beam right

Yeah, I'd like to get a price on aluminum IBeam, triaxle 10,400lb capacity. Electric over hydraulic which I believe is a standard. Disc brakes on all axles. Stainless hardware option as well.

I'm just toying with the idea of changing out my manning... price will be the deciding factor.

Appreciate your time...

I'll find out on Mon.
