I found a couple other viable options for the custom keel roller trailer for my 22' 1979 Revenge other than Continental. If they were not so far away, I would likely go with the Continental but am uneasy with the prospects of the closest dealer being 12 hours away. Especially when it comes to warranty work.

The two other candidates are EZ Loader and Loadmaster. The EZ Loader dealer is only about 20 miles away from where my boat is currently being stored, the Loadmaster dealer is in Norfolk (6 hours) but would be closer once I move the boat to the Chesapeake Bay.

Both have offered quotes based on the same design as the Continental custom keel roller trailer. I'm still in the process of getting details on the Loadmaster but both are torsion axle (Continental is leaf spring), they have LED lights, 9 keel rollers set back to back. Both are aluminum while the Continental is galvanized. The prices are all comparable (around 5 K) so it's going to come down to the details for me.--Once I find a way to pay for it. :)

The EZ Loader has a box aluminum frame as opposed to I-Beam. It also has oil filled hubs as opposed to grease. Does anyone have any advice with respect to:

1) box frame vs I beam construction (aluminum)

2) oil filled vs grease filled hubs?

3) Any preference between the competitors?

Thanks!
