Whats up guys, dont post here much but do a lot of reading. Wanted to get yall to throw around some ideas on the trailer topic.
Im looking to get another trailer for my Dolphin 16 Super Skiff. Not sure if I want to hunt down a used one that is in good shape and fit it to the 16 SS or if I want to get a new trailer built. Im located in Beaufort, NC and do not know of any manufactures near me as i just moved up here. Just the big manufactures: Ameratrail, McClain, Ramlin etc. that are down in FL (where im from) and TX. Any one know of any aluminum trailer builders up this way?
I would like something that will be as "dry launch" as possible. I know that the dry launch term can be kind of a loaded topic but the idea of having the boat sit closer to the ground on the trailer then normal is a good thing in my opinion and I think that is really what you get with a "dry launch" trailer. Helps with load/unload gear, working on the boat, and reducing how much trailer actually gets wet when you launch/load (you are always going to get a little salt water on the trailer no matter what lets be real here lol).
I have seen some pretty sweet trailers from my searches on here and just in general. What are you guys that have Super Skiffs doing for your trailers? Would love to see some pictures of yalls set ups, whether its a dry launch or not.
On a side note, I read through TigWeld's post on the trailer he built. That was a great thread. He built a sweet trailer.
