Thanks for input Phil,
Yes I live close to several boat ramps, so I won't be traveling far. I like Load - rite trailers as well , I have a 7000# Load-Rite double axle trailer I use for my other boat (Edgewater 20'CC)I keep at marina , and use trailer to put in an pull out an store for winter. I can get a load-rite for my Montauk if I want. However I know the BW salesman and I saw the Karavan , with Whaler stickers etc, and at $1600 it came in cheaper then the load-rite so I figured I give it a try.
