Boat Master
Fort Myers, Fl
Ask for John

No springs, Torsion bar suspension.
Pulls great with a F 150.
Aluminum with stainless hardware. Go with the sealed LED lights.

You should look at the Rolls Axle. It is the most maintenence free trailer out there. I just bought one and have been very happy with it. The other companies that are popular on this board are Loadmaster, Road King, Float On and Boat Master. Whatever brand you get, make sure you get torsion axles, disc brakes and stainless steel upgrade.

A little less $$ than Rolls Axle, LoadMaster and Continental. On the Continental go for the SSTA model. It has most of all the options except for the following:

Stainless Steel Disc Brakes with 14-16" Wheels
Marine shoe Style Brakes with flush
Spare Tire and wheel
Bunks Notched for Lifting Straps
Radial tires
Aluminum Wheels

Lot of other manufacturers charge you for each option. One feature I like which is standard is the "V" crossmembers and axles. This allows the boat to sit lower and makes low water easier to handle. The SSTA also comes standard with torsion axles and a fullstainless steel fastening.
