Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Custom built Aluminum Keel Roller Trailers: Ez-Loader vs. Loadmaster

The Loadmaster sounds like the better trailer, but I still think the price is outrageous. The other problem with aluminum trailers when re-configured for keel rollers is that they are extremely long and take up a lot of storage space, plus additional tongue weight. Be sure the wheels are far enough forward. I don't like trailer brakes with vented rotors becuase maintenance is expensive. Hubs have to be removed for cutting and resurfacing. I recommend Tie Down G5's, which have a single SS rotor that never needs work.

Aside: KMEV - looking at your Personal Page, I see you are the Smoothside 21 owner I passed on Sunday afternoon towing my Outrage 19 between Sister Bay and Bailey's Harbor! Nice boat, and small world!
