most trailers are basicly the same, as long as it has the weight limit. it's the setup that counts, bunks, rollers, guide ons,tires size, brakes. remember on the weight to add gear, gas, and add on accessories. and consider the type ramps you will use most.

Trailers are not just something you put under your boat. It is just as important as your boat when it comes to maintenance and selection. Do you use your boat in salt water? If so you should select galvanized or aluminum trailer.<br />Since your boat is not that heavy you only need 1 axil. Try to get the largest tires possible. Do you want or need breaks? If so, you should look at disc breaks,less maintenance. Shoe brakes may be a better stop for a heavy boat but I still like the pad brakes.<br />Always check you tires before you leave for a trip or before you head home.

Check out Loadrite.com and other trailer sites. They usually have a chart or program that will indicate the right model trailer for your boat.
