Anyone got any opinions on their aluminum I-beam trailers?
Any better or worse than other I-beam out there? I've tried to read most all threads on trailers and haven't seen their name come up. Thanks..

I have a I beam trailer. Its OK they flex,,The bow support is really critical. I have pulled the same boat on a C channel and they are way more rigid. They tow better. My I beam tows good but C channel is outstanding

Stay away from the cheap Ventures

Stay away from cheap anything.

Are you saying Venture and Road King are somehow connected or just making a blanket statement? My boat is only 24' and my budget is roughly 4k which seems to be where most I-beam trailers fall. Don"t think I can get a C-channel for that kind of money. I can get a Road King nearby so I can have my boat set up on it by the dealer , which is a plus. From most of the threads on here I've read, seems like most I-beams, ie All American, Ameritrail, McClain, Rocket, Nextrail, Hi Tech, Loadmaster, are pretty much the same with Nextrail being at the lower end. Almost too many options in this price range to pick from. Thanks for the advice and any others are welcome.

In that price range check out EZ loader, but be sure to opt for the SS brakes if your gonna be in Saltwater, I love my trailer, Every part of the trailer including the bunks is either Aluminum, Galvanized, or SS, I didnt know at the time they offered SS Brakes, ,the steel brake calipers only lasted a year in FL salt.

Just didnt like the Venture trailer that my friend bought brand new. Complete junk from top to bottom
Have you looked around for a good used trailer?

Oh got it. I have looked at a Venture but wouldn't consider buying one, looked very cheap to me.
I've looked around a little for a used one but between me being in a fresh water area, so there's not many aluminum ones around, and me being too picky to find one nice enough for me that has been in salt water, I haven't had any luck.

There is a guy advertising on Richmond Craigslist almost daily for factory direct aluminum trailers.

Thanks. Those are Hi Tech's. I've talked to him and got a quote which was right in line with everyone else. He usually doesn't have any stocked to look at in person and when I asked to take a look at one when the next shipment came in it seemed like it was a hassle to let me do that, so kinda rubbed me the wrong way. There was one on the lot that had been damaged in shipping and it looked pretty nice except they had used a mushroom head bolt on the front bunks that had the head of the bolt on the top and outside the carpet which seemed like it would scratch the boat.
