Default Re: Magictilt VS Loadmaster

Hey Gents-

On Friday,I am ordering a 6,000lb Magic-Tilt aluminum roller with 50 yellow poly rollers. After talking with the trailer dealer, I am going with stainless fastners, leaf springs and disc brakes. According to him, boats (like mine) that sit on their trailer year round put a lot of stress on torsion axles and as a result, they tend to cave in toward the fender over time. He felt that the leaf springs would stand up better over time.

I am sure there are two sides to this argument, but I believe this guy because he repairs a ton of trailers and is a dealer for 3-4 brands.

As far as bunks versus rollers are concerned, I opted to switch to rollers because winching my boat onto my existing bunk trailer with 10-12 foot tides and a strong river current was a PAIN IN THE ARSE.

I will let you guys know how I make out with the Magic Tilt after I pick her up.

-Ed-
