I had my old trailer break a couple of weeks ago

.. I think my old float on was actually set up for a small boat

, the front braces snapped when we were taking it out of the water.. and all the weight was leaning on the transom,it almost snapped the rear roller off

. I needed a trailer in a hurry, My outboard dealer told me to call this guy .. I went up and got a Sea Lion 16ft float on trailer for 555.oo bucks, brand new !! its rated for 1455 lbs .. more then what I need .. It has the 12 inch slotted wheels on it !! So far I'm happy with it .. Good thing it broke off near me and not on the highway !!
