Need to buy a new trailer; old one stolen. Considering EZ Loader @ <$2000 vs. MC equivalent @ >$4000. Any experience with EZ Loader?

Won't your insurance cover this?

Your going to loose more on resale without a MC trailer.

I seem to associate EZ loader as making the trailers with all the rollers. If sio, this is significantly different than the bunks MC trailers (and most other inboards) use. I would not roll the dice on that one, although the key is probably ensuring you have good support primarily under the stringers. Not sure how you'd guarantee that w/roller trailer.

I'm not sure how they compare in price to a MC trailer, but you may want to check the price on a DHM trailer: http://www.dhmtrailers.com/online/home.php
My 205 came with a DHM and it has been a great trailer. In fact there are a couple things that I like better about it than the MC trailer.

Also check out a Boatmate they may deal with you directly. Also Orr turcking had some MC trailers for sale in Greenback TN, your local dealer should have a number for them as they haul most of the MC boats.

My ez loader wasnt a great trailer, but neither was the boat that was on it.

I had a trailer made recently and I look into a few different companies. I ended up with a Tidewater. Every company I called sounded the pretty much the same. They all have to add brackets to lift the bunks for the inboard. So the boat will be a bit high on the trailer. I did see one picture on here once of an aluminum trailer down south that looked really good and low, I can't find it.One thing I did add was guide poles to get on. I did not get a boat buddy that was a mistake. I was told not to power on, but I can the trailer has plenty of room underneath. I went from a single axle to a tandem and what a difference that makes. Don't take the trailer on a delivery make sure it's setup right axle position and bunks at the dealer with the boat. Good Luck

Off subject, but was curious about the "racks" located on the top of your tower. What do you use those for?

Water ski rack isn't it? Boards on the sides, skis on top?

I bought the boat used and they were there. I have put wakeboards in there a couple of times. I have to say it does look weird and I got some wise cracks about it. I might remove them soon.
