Which boat trailer?
I need to buy a aluminum trailer for my 32 fountain and have been looking at http://www.manningmarine.com/ and of course Myco.
Myco gave me a price quote for a dual axel, Electric over hydraulic disk brakes for 12.5K.
For the same trailer manning is $7500. Is the Myco really worth the extra 5K? They both are welded aluminum, and C channel. Does anyone else have a manning aluminum? Seems to be a huge difference in price.
Anyone else I should be looking at?

I had Ron and Pam build my trailer back in 07. Very nice work. and In my opinion right up there with Myco. I would go for the Manning for the price difference. Their work is top noctch and I would recommend them to anyone!

Phil, do you plan on towing all the time? A buddy had a Manning under his 34 PQ. I would put it right next to a Myco. Do you think you would recoup the extra cost of the Myco if/ when you sell?
Does Myco have a trade-in program?

Yea we will have to tow all the time, and no I don't think the Myco would bring me 5K more when I sell. I am trying to get cost right now, closed cooling, and sea strainers are on my "want" list. Beginning to think I shouldn't put this kind of money in the 32.
40ICBM, thanks for the picture, good looking trailer and boat.
Back4More,
Yea you are right there. I couldn't believe the price.
35 fountain,
Do you have one, can you post a picture?
Thanks Guys, this helps.
