Hard to beat a Myco.
I'm on my third and have trialered a total of over 80K miles with the three combined without a single flat tire or any failure.
They are built with a nice service factor, 16 inch load range "E" tires and simply very well engineered. They are not cheap but when you can head out on a 2500 mile round trip and not have a single issue it is worth it.
Do yourself a favor also and but electric over hydraulic brakes. You will be very glad you did.
A good friend did the same trip we did with a larger boat on 15 inch tires and he had two blow outs and the second one took out the fender and his brake lines. It was an aluminum bolt together trailer.
If you are serious about trailering and will be covering some miles don't buy on price.

I have a 382 Fastech sitting on a Manning steel trailer w/electric/hyd brakes on all three axles, which by the way I think is required by law. I could not be happier with it, we have towed many good safe miles.

Have had 3 Myco's and one Eagle, Myco hands down. Have had a 38 Fountain on an Aluminum Myco and a 38 Fountain on a steel Myco. Aluminum is great if you boat in salt/brackish water. I like the steel for towing long distances. Not as much flex. Electric/hyd. brakes on at least 2 axles are a must.
