Around here Shorelander's reputation is not all that great They are typically the base trailers on a price point boat packages The wide spread use of use of proprietary parts on their trailers is a big turn off as well Most of the "better" boats you see sitting on Loadrite or Loadmaster trailers Roller or bunk depends on your ramps If you're having problems
Anyone weld a sleeve onto rusted tube trailer? - iboats Boating Forums Re: Anyone weld a sleeve onto rusted tube trailer? I didn't mean for it to sound as if tube trailers are more prone to rust, just that detecting rust is harder That coupled with them being constructed of lighter gauge metal vs a good c channel frame, makes the c channel easier to detect rust and repair before it gets to the point of failure
