Hey Rob,
There are no shots of the new ACE on the Konrad web page.

The Ace is a 540 drive w/ a high performance lower, stand off box, steering, and BAM tanny. I have the brochure in PDF form. If anyone wants it emailed just shoot me a PM.

Tom what trailer company did you end up going with? I'm looking at MYCO and Pacific (they started doing aluminum) and maybe Extreme but they don't do aluminum?

Here is a link to Rolls Axle trailers. Nice trailer for the $$. It's bolted together, not welded. I'm not sure why. It does flex alot on rough roads.

Must be the design. i would never buy a steel trailer after the ones i had in the past turn to junk either from the road rock chips or the salt dunking.

I saw a blurb in Power Boat. Looks like a nice setup...

Rick or anyone with a tape measure handy; How tall of a motor can you stuff under the hatch before it won't clear? And how deep can the Oil pan be before it will hit?

I saw the sister motor to mine mocked up last night and that sucker is TALL!!! I'll take a pic of it next time I'm at the shop. Oh and a polished 14-71 looks soooooo nice, its a thing of beauty

Thanks for the link guys... I'm really only looking at Aluminum trailers for the same reason you mentioned Tom, they just don't last as long. As for the pricing I didn't know the west coast guys were more expensive? I thought that apples for apples they were the same? How's the ride with the Rolls on the freeway and would you tow across country every summer with it? I remember you guys got a pretty smokin' deal on those last year.

Actually not as smooth as my old steel trailer. The suspension is stiffer and less travel. My Rolls Axle seems to bounce the truck more than it should. That could be the way the boat is set on the trailer. I wish I could have had the trailer set up by Rolls with the boat on it.
