Skip the low end bolt together trailers...I.e. venture, load rite. They cut too many corners. I'd go with all american, hi tech, slide on, or real extreme.

Travis, this place is about 5 minutes from me off 105. Never been there or seen it. Was going to check it out and see about them doing a couple of repairs on my Heritage but haven't made it there yet. That's a cheap price on the quote.

Yep all the fishing guys rave about their trailers, seems like a good deal. Stainless bolts, torsion axels, spare tire, etc... I like the fact he is local too. I saw pictures of him doing welded bunks also so I want to check into that to see if its standard or not. I will get up there and check out there stuff before I commit though.

Thanks for all the great feed back!

I decided to go with a painted Manning trailer and Matt was great to deal with, as was most that I called. It is coming with everything we wanted/needed all the boats we have owned the trailer was always the weakest link, hopefully now it will not be.

I will try and post some pictures when we get it and thanks again.
