    Default Recommendations for new Boat trailer

    Where would I get the best deal on a new aluminum tandem axle trailer?
    Something in the 5k to 6k weight range, 22ft center console.

    I would either reach out to a custom builder that has your hull design on file and can build you a trailer fit for your hull or buy a used trailer with a good frame and rebuild it with quality components. I do not think there is value in buying a mass produced trailer.

    One built specifically for your boat will make you look like a pro at the ramp.

    Over the summer trailers were about 8weeks out.

    I have been really happy with my custom road king.

    Does Wesco not make trailers that size? Their owning company is WC Manufacturing and moved into a bigger shop near the airport in West Cola.

    Sport Trail are the best trailers on the market. Ameritrail is second.

    The real question is budget.

    I will add Owens and Sons to that list also! Great experience with them!

    Wesco customer service is shit. I would prefer to support local guys, but they have so much dealer business they are fine.

    My Owens and Sons for our 22 pioneer was same price as a bolt together wesco. Granted I had to drive to St Pete to get it, but we like little road trips. Towed and loaded like a dream!

    I’ll second Owens and Sons. My buddy has had them build 2 trailers for 2 separate boats. Great quality and service at an affordable price. I’m getting them to build me a trailer for my 18 Maverick this winter. Their custom welded single axle is cheaper than what Charleston trailer wants for a bolt on trailer.

    I spoke with Doug at Owens and Sons, $4700 plus tax custom built w welded non adjustable bunks, loaded with great components
    but they close for three weeks in Dec and then a month out, probably mid Feb.

    A member on here hooked me up with a friend of his that apparently is someone important at Road King
    Ordered today, building it custom fit for my hull, Torsion axles, vortex hubs, LED lights w heat shrink connectors, guide posts, disc brakes, blah blah blah
    Price so good, I promised I wouldn't tell anyone.....seriously he stated below dealer cost and I believe him
