The surge brakes work fine for my situation, but if I had a dedicated tow vehicle, I would probably choose to convert my surge coupler to an electric.
His Manning pulls perfect and the disc brakes are a great add-on that really ought to be considered on any trailer.
I had Roland build a steel trailer for my 38 Cigarette. No problems, no gripes.

Re: Manning Trailers
tweakinit - did you move forward with this? How did you make out? I am in the same exact situation as you. Just ordered a new Sunsation Dominator SS and am thinking about using Manning. Spoken to Ron and he seems to be a nice guy. I worry as the SS has a unique bottom design and he welds his bunks - need to make sure he gets it right so Sunsation is happy with how she sits and to also avoid logistical nightmare since I will be contracting Manning. Any experience/suggestions you can add (or anyone else) would be great. Thanks!

Re: Manning Trailers
On the Heat,
I did go ahead with Manning. My formula is sitting ON :-) a new aluminum tri-axle now, and I will post some pics a soon as this nasty weather clears down here in Florida.
You are welcome to give me a call at 850-259-8300 and I can tell you about my experience with his trailers, and make a few suggestions for you if you are going to have him build one for you.

Re: Manning Trailers
Yes, it is my boat on the Manning website. As far as I know, only Myco and Manning build welded aluminum trailers and Manning has only done a handful. It uses c-channel for the main side beams and drive guard and box channel for all the cross members. I cannot speak for the I-beam trailers because I have never owned or used one, but I am very happy with the way my welded aluminum trailer looks and the way it works.
