New Trailer
Hey I'm looking to purchase a new or like new trailer for my 32 Active Thunder. What is the best company that will work on a trailer to fit my boat??? I'm in western Kentucky.42044 Any dealers out there close to me? Im tired of these trailers that fit anything.

My short list of really decent trailer manufacturers includes Manning, Myco, Eagle and Performance. I'm sure there are others though.
BTW: Stay away from anybody who will build you a trailer that you need to adjust to fit. (Venture for instance.) If you want a really good trailer, get one that is custom built and welded together for your exact boat.

Going to pick up my Manning tomorrow. I can't wait, I've been without the boat for 7 weeks waiting on insurance and then repairs. I had a Venture before that I had to do a lot of work to in order to make it fit the boat right.

Venture makes a pretty poor trailer if you ask me. Sure, if you're patient enough, you can get one to almost fit perfectly. Sometimes.

Also I never liked the spring suspension under the Venture the spread on the tri axle was really far apart and the middle axle always bounced pretty good at highway speeds.

It was under the boat when I bought it and basically brand new, but still took some time to get it setup so my wife could load and unload easily. I finally had it setup really well and it would have done the job for a long time but some body else came left of center and totaled it for me so now we are getting a Manning.

You will love how your new Manning loads, I do mine by myself a lot and the people at the ramp are pretty suprised on how fast I get it on the trailer.

As for someone fairly close to you, Heritage is still in business and it will be built to fit. Prestige made a great trailer and Heritage bought their assests when they closed their doors a few years back. They are located in Benton, IL (Southern IL). Looks to be less than 100 miles from where you live.
