Anyone have experience with magic tilt trailers? How is the build quality? We don't trailer often. Looking for something to trail a 292.

Never heard of them but I'm sure someone on here has. What kind of prices are you getting, might have gone up a little but I paid 5500 for my manning. I did go and get it to save delivery but its not a bad ride from you. I is a great trailer and was made specifically for my boat. Just put it on no adjustments.

Mike has 2 of them and I've used them before good trailers for the $$$

I have seen several Magic tilt trailers and they appear to be a good trailer for the cash.

A good friend of mine owns a Sunsation that sits on a Manning trailer and he is very happy with it.

I bought a new triple axle Magic Tilt for my old Top Gun. Price was very reasonable, decent quality and it towed well. What I did not like was it was so light it flexed a lot and with the flotation of six tires, it floated to the surface every time I backed into the water. It made pulling out at the end of weekend a nightmare. Four seasons later, I bought a new Myco.
If you are rarely going to use the trailer, the Magic will be fine. For more frequent towing, I'd spend the money for a quality welded trailer like the Myco.

With regard to the magic tilt... I found a used one that will fit my boat for 3500. It's a 2005. Down side is I would have to cut bunks again to fit the steps.
On the manning. I called and they want 6700. A lot more than I'm willing to spend. Also my boat does not get trailed enough to buy one.
Any info on ace trailers? I called and he said they would build me a tri axle with custom cut bunks for 4500. And 500 shipping. Seems reasonable for a brand new trailer. Thoughts.

Like said, if you only ramp once in a while it won't matter. My loadright was a nightmare to get it on the trailer. With the Manning I can do it by myself, it lines up perfect every time. But like you said it depends on how much you use it. It also depends on what kind of ramps you have, the ones around me are mostly short so a good trailer is a must. As for parts Manning will get them but for axle bearing and seals he just gave me the number for his supplier.
I also did a 700 mile round trip tow this summer through some mountains and the Manning was a dream. I guess they have gone up since last year,or because I ordered it in Jan. it was a special deal.
