Aluminum Trailer needed

Anyone know of a deal on alum. trailer for my 15' Whaler? Everyone here wants to take my order, order it from Fla. and then make their cut. I've got friends in Tarpon Springs, Ellenton, Bradenton, Long Boat, Ft. Meyers and Venice. Road trip, warmer weather and fish?!? Come home with a fresh trailer?!? My friend in Tarpon likes to fill his cooler and go to the public landings to watch husbands, wives, and of course, us drunks fight at the landings. He says it's only a matter of time before he wins the ten grand from Amer. Fun. Videos. My galvanized trailer may get some classic video when I drag it to the County Recycling Center/ DUMP! Thanks. Vezo.

I have done a lot of research on the web, spoken to many sales people from the biggest names to a couple of smaller ones, and then the dealers who don't build anything, except after they've billed you. Talked a very knowledgable guy in St. Pete. Knew deadrise of the hull, where the bunks would rest, everything. Price was almost $50. less than everyone else. Does anyone know the name of the trailer builder in St. Pete, I think the name starts with "O", and its a Father and Son(s) operation. Really want to do business with this company. Thanks.

Try TA mahoney's in Tampa, FL. My Brother who lives in Tampa gets all his fishing/boat stuff here. . . . kind of a local place. They have good prices. Got a quote for a new tandem axel galvanized trailer for $1270.00.

I have one of their trailers and it is excellent. I have a tri-axel which is way more than I need but it came with the boat. I have been very impressed. Here is there information:

CMBarnes, Thank you. Can't seem to find the reply that said they had purchased a similar trailer from Loadmaster which did everything I need PLUS stainless hardware, LED trailer lights and more. Have to try talking to someone there to confirm, still leaning toward Owens and son.
