Default Trailers for SC 23'

What type of trailer is generally the best, for both long haul and around town?

I would say aluminum "float on" type rated at a minimum of 6000#, dual axle and disc brakes on all four wheels. This is one of those "don't cheap out" things when you buy.

Yepper!!! Looks just like mine, just a different brand. And it looks like you also have the deluxe model where the I-beams are "wrapped around" and bolted through the 3" x 3" square tube that holds the winch stand and hitch...much stronger design.

Torsion axles are a must.

Take in to consideration the ramps you plan to use. My boat came on a bunk trailer but I had to time my use with the tides. When I got a new one, I went with rollers. I too agree on torsion axles. The difference is unveleivable as compared to leaf springs.

Never had a trailer w/torsion axles - what exactly do you feel in the difference?
