Looking for an Aluminum Trailer in Central Florida
I am debating weather to replace my 1997 factory trailer with a new aluminum trailer. As some of you have done, I have looked at some of the used trailers on Craiglist, and it seems either they need too much work, or they are asking a price that is not that far below a new trailer. I am here on the spacecoast, and I know serveral of you have trailers from shops in the Tampa area. like Tim Nobles and Ace trailers. I would like to know how they have performed since you have owned them. Also has anyone had any expierience with Boat trailers direct in Brandon ?

Re: Looking for an Aluminum Trailer in Central Florida
I have a Continental trailer bought in Port Charlotte. Very happy with it, it was a little cheaper and lighter than TNT and Ace. The guy has a lot of experience adjusting the bunks for Macs. Only problem has been with the lights, one got loose and destroyed on the road and one of the back lights stopped working. Both easily replaced.
Only negatives compared with the original trailer was the added weight and loosing the front ladder, now I just climb over the spare tire.
