Title: Aftermarket Boat Trailers?
Post by: Curt on June 02, 2016, 10:30:40 AM: Anyone have recommendations for good aftermarket trailers for bass boats?

I'm not in need of one yet, but I'd like to see what's out there and get any feedback I can about some of the various options available.

I took a look at the Hustler trailers website. They look decent, using a channel frame instead of the typical box frame. I seriously think the box frame should disappear and everyone should use the channel frame design.

Any feedback is welcome and appreciated! (yes)

yes, channel is better from an integrity, my favorite although pricey ( I have one under my big inshore boat) is Magic-tilt, you can't get much better than them. quality all aluminum and stainless, will literally last a lifetime

Thanks @frugalangler :thumbup:

I have thought about looking into aluminum trailers too, but I figured they would be pricey. I'll definitely keep looking into various brands :nod:
