New trailer for 36 Foot center console
 
Who builds em in the northeast? I dont need a high dollar trailer (altough maybe worth it). This boat will see very little tow time.
Thanks in advance.

Had a Loadmaster for a Cigarette 2 boats ago and liked it very much. They seem to have a large Northeast dealer network.

Is Performance Trailer at Top Of The World still in business?

Jason Saris should have a line on used trailers, also.

Isn't Performance Trailer right near you? Never had one of their trailers but I read some good stuff about them on OSO in the past.

I've always liked Eagle trailers. The marina I've worked at for 23 years has always had good luck with them. Well built, tow like a dream and custom designed for each particular hull. I think we've sent one back in all of those years because they screwed up. But, the company has had its problems over the years too. And as has already been mentioned, Performance makes a great trailer too.

You mentioned that the trailer will not see much use, but that's actually a very important reason not to scrimp on a trailer. If you leave your boat sitting on a poorly designed trailer for long periods, you can do all sorts of wonderful things to your hull.

have had 3 eagles as well.,,, very happy with the quality

Carguy08 05-16-2011 09:38 PM

I'm researching all kinds at this point. I do really like the Mannings.

Anthony the Eagle is nice however they drag on a steep ramp pretty easily. Eagles seem to have a very low clearance on the cross members and may not work great on the Lake George Ramps, just my .02 . I have had good luck w my Performance trailer.

Venture if you are looking for a deal. A guy I know has one under a 30 foot Sutphen and loves it.

Nobody sells more of them than these guys in CT: http://www.diamondmarine.net/trailers.html

I've worked on quite a few Venture trailers in the past few years. I have absolutely nothing good to say about them. (And I'm a Mechancal Engineer.) Oh wait, they are cheap. That's about it.

myco alum

My next trailer will likely be an aluminum Manning.

Sydwayz 05-17-2011 03:35 PM

Myco or Manning.

Worth every last penny.

Another vote for Manning. I picked mine up a couple of weeks ago for my 35 Fastech. The boat fit perfect on it and I towed it from Michigan to NJ and it towed great. Workmanship was excellent. I've also owned a Myco and an aluminum bolt-together, and there is no comparison between the Manning and a bolt-together trailer.

Did you bring the boat to have it fit? or did it fit without tweaking?

Did not bring the boat. They said they had all the measurements and it fit like a glove. The only thing I did was adjust the bow stop.

Carguy08 05-19-2011 09:50 PM

Good to know. Thanks. Aluminum? any pics?

Too Stroked 05-20-2011 05:36 AM

We've come a long way from not wanting a high dollar trailer to Manning and Myco trailers. Quite simply, they are the best. In fact if you parked one of them (built for your boat) side by side with a Venture (also built for your boat), you'd be astounded - in both how well they're built (or not) and how much they cost. But, you get what you pay for. I still think an Eagle is a great trailer for the money though.

Thanks for the advise guys. I went with a Manning and I'm very happy with it. We have to make an adjustment on the front bunks but the rest of the trailer fits the boat perfect. Ron from Manning was easy to deal with.
