Not sure if I can offer any assistance in advice for your trailering needs but I can make a suggestion. Aluminum Slide-On, Jeff (Owens and Sons) of Tampa area. Give him a call. Every trailer custom built to order. I have an '03 and an '06 for each of my Whalers. Part I also just purchased one for his '87 18 SF. Jeff knows Seacraft. I'm traveling from Sav. to the Cape 9-12-06. I can get it there. His sister Kim answers the phones. He is very knowledgable and usually cheaper than all mass produced. Check him out at Owensandsons or aluminumslide-on. Part II.

Vezo, that is beyond generous of you. Thanks you so much for the offer. Jeff was among my first phone calls. The trailer that I sold was one of his from 1987 and it was still in very good shape.

Unfortunately, he doesn't deal with rollers...at all. With the tides I have to deal with, I could only load or unload a bunk trailer about 2 out of every 12 hours.

Small world. Well at least I don't have to feel like I'm opinionated. That guy is as good as his product in my book. Thought I could have helped. Stopping in harbor east of Mystic to see some old Jersey Skiff friends, owners of the Gwen-Mar Marina. Hoping to go to lunch in their converted/working Tug. Tell me the stripers are GROWING!!! Part II.

Ed, I'm trying to track down a Road King dealer. Who is OUZO? I cant find anything from them on the web?

Are you a dealer? Every dealer I talk to tells me right up front that they make no money selling trailers and basically warns me that they don't know much about them and can't be too helpful. Diamond was the exception to this but, I'm not completely sold on them. I'm annoyed that they put on mag wheels but then use Tie Down components and galvanized instead of Aluminum cross members.

Are Tie Down brake components really that bad. I've yet to find a roller manufacturer that uses Kodiak.

"OUZO" is a custom hybrid Greek/American trailer shop located in Saugus MA.

They will custom make any trailer to your specifications.
The process starts with a bottle of OUZO and results with a Greek/American passed out in the driveway and the final product looks nothing like you ordered.

Please feel free to contact them at csicknick@yahoo.com

BTW; I believe his boat is named OUZO also ….

I know, wise arse ….
