New trailer reviews

 Well the trailer under my Stacer 469 Nomad has just about run it's race and I'm in the market for a new one, just wondering if any one out there has opinions on what's good and what's not, 2 requirements are that it has to be heavy duty and needs a centre walkway, currently it's a telwater and has been a good trailer lasting about 9 years with around 350 to 400 launches into the salt.

cheers, Daisy

 Have you thought about an ally trailer mate, Dura lite in kewdale could custom make one for you but I don't know what their prices are like but the trailers they make look pretty good.

I'm really happy with my ACE aluminium trailer. Rated to 3.5t and just returned from a Coral Bay trip. Set up of the trailer was excellent and the trailing was straight and level and trouble free. There are a number of recommendations on here as well for galvanised models. Guess its what you prefer.

cheers

 I have a trailit trailer with a 5.2m Ali boat. Not sure on costs or anyone else's opinion on them, but the layout is good with a central walkway and the roller positioning is pretty good also.

Have no complaints from mine.
