Default Re: Trailers for a '23 Scepter

Good advice. See what every one else is using in the area. Bunks are cheaper, less maintenance and provide better support so if every one has rollers, it's probably because you need them.

My Tsunami came with a bunk trailer. I couldn't get the boat on or off more than 2 hours off peak tide. Between that and the need to add brakes I opted to go with rollers when I replaced it. I slip the boat for the season but when I need to pull it out for maintenance or repairs, I can't wait for a weekend day where the tides are convenient to pull the boat. I needed the flexibility of the rollers.

I spent all summer looking for a used replacement with no luck and finally ended up spending about $3.3k for a Venture AL trailer with disc brakes on both torsion axles.
