I have an owens slide on and like it quite well, I agree it is a good one to choose, Myco is defiantly good as well, They make all of the high end custom race boating trailers. I have a cupple of magic trails as well and they are not to bad either as well as my classic float on that is still working 22 years latter.

Forgot to mention Float-On. They are also very nice trailers.

My two cents. Buy a "double bend" frame!! As an example, it's an option on Continental, their top of the line "CA" models have it. Only way to go.

That's a new one to me! What is a "double bend" frame Don?

Go to the Continental web site....as an example only.....and look at how their top of the line trailers are made looking at the hitch back to the axles. Two bends, one in front of the axles and one at the front. MUCH superior. My last two trailers were built this way and would not buy one without the extra strength. I can send pictures of mine when I get home.

1st choice and most expensive
Ameri trailer. Full welded aluminum

2nd
Rolls

3rd
Float on

I have a float on and it is great. At over 30 years old I replaced the torsion axles. It took 2 days and I picked the new ones up at the factory. Easy as that!

YES Sir!!! It's one of those 'ya get what you pay for!!! I'm lucky there are two boat trailer builders very close to where I live and shopping with them gives me a chance to see what the difference between cheapo and well made is!!

Thanks guys, yeah it must be nice being in Florida for that stuff, it's a little tougher to get some of those brands up here in the northeast.
If you gat a chance to post the pic Don I'd be curious to see it

Here ya go!! Notice the 3" x 3" galvanized tubing is 8' long and runs through the "second bend" in the frame which is bent to run parallel to the tube and bolted through with SS bolts along with a cross member at the end. In effect the load at the front of the trailer is distributed over 5' versus in some trailers, like the basic Continental models, just 2' with little bracing.

My Peterson is built the same way. Don I like the steps to get off from the bow.
