Default Float-On Trailers - Great Company To Deal With

I needed a Triple Axle Aluminum trailer and after contacting several builders decided to go with Float-On. Tim Poppell with Float-On was very quick to answer my emails and phone calls. He gave a very detailed bid and built the trailer in 10 days.

They delivered it and it fit perfectly. Boat was several hundred miles away. Price was very good as well.

Hopefully I can get the pictures to post.

Wow !

That is a serious winch post ! I have a FLOAT ON for my GB and I'm very happy with their support.

Does yours have Tie Down or KODIAK disc brakes ?

Thats great to hear since I am having a trailer made from FloatOn for my new 31 Fountain TE. That was a big boost of good news.Your boat looks great on it too! Nice rig.

I had a few 34+ triple axle float on's for my parasail boats and they always did the trick, never had any issues with them.

Float On will add front bunk boards to the standard "V" set up as an option. Very reasonably priced and makes loading the boat almost automatic.

I had them added after purchase and would never have another without them.

I had a 31 Jupiter and Float on trailer, I was in Florida and lost brakes due to wear called and they told me to bring in to factory left with them for 2 days they reworked brakes at reasonable price. When trailer was there they brought it up to current day specs and corrected some problems w/o charging for that. I must say they were first class and very friendly as I had no appointment and was traveling back to SC.

Great positive Float On remarks. I did have them do the target bunks rather then the V block, starting in 2010 they included either set up for the same price. All contact that I had at their factory thus far has been very good, very professional.

Is the front V-Block really bolted from underneath?

Seems like a lot of unsupported weight- my float on trailer has the front V-Block sitting on the I beam flange so that the bolts are just holding it in place, not supporting the load.
