I am looking at new trailers for my pontoon. Mid America trailers seem to be the most well built that i can find. So if i go with one from joes marine in Indiana i can get one with disc brakes on all 4 wheels with the proper actuator, plastic bunk covers and a bigger winch and a spare tire with mount for 3,800 if i buy local i can get the trailer with std carpet bunks a smaller winch and only drum brakes on the rear axle and no spare for the same price. Indiana is 550 miles one way. The trailer weighs 1000 lbs and the toon is 1800 lbs. Drums are more maintenance i know that. Can you have too much brakes? It seems a light load for 4 wheel disc, Will they work properly? I have no experience with trailer brakes. These are both surge brakes with electric reverse lockouts. Also it will only be used in fresh water.
