Can't go wrong with MagicTilt - I just purchaed a ALS3100 (3,100 lbs) - I love it! www.magictilt.com (http://www.magictilt.com)
Rolls is also a great trailer! but I do not have contact info - can anyone help?
Both are on the Florida west coast.
Also, does your state have a weight threshold for brakes - if not, don't get 'em if you are goin' in salt water. OR get a brake flush kit if you do!

I like Eagle, I have hade a few of them and I can say they are built very well. Since the palnt is local to me I have taken their tour and seen first hand how they are built. I just ordered a set of custom boat guides and spare tire holder. Their Customer service dept was first rate.

Rolls trailers are the best. All aluminum and stainless. Rick R had an 18 on one at Portofino last year that really looked great all polished up. I have one under my 16 and it tows like a dream.

After seeing RickR's Rolls trailer, I wouldn't go ANY other way. All stainless or aluminum construction.....the best trailer I've seen, period!

Here are some pics of the 21x60T Rolls (21', 6000lbs, tandem)
There are a few Florida dealers. I have bought a 21x60T and a 23x60T for my Donzi's from T.A Mahoneys in St Pete.
My Rolls were custom, they'll work with you. If you contact Mahoney's talk to Tom Mahoney tell him I refered you.
Rolls is making a in house disc brake that is very nice.
T.A. Mahoney's 813-241-6500 (area code may have changed to 727
Rolls 1-888 ROLLS52

Rolls. I bought a 26x100T for my Magnum in '98. Tows great with its patented Rolls suspension. It looks the same as the RicksR's above but without the aluminum wheels, just bigger!

JimG - I bought one of RickR's Rolls and it is beautiful. The crazy thing though - it floats! This can be really disconcerning if the wind or current is up.

The really sweet thing about this trailer is that Rick threw in a 18' Donzi along with it. Couldn't pass that up!

I bought a Rolls for my 16. I'm very happy with it.

Mine floats too, but I sort of like it. I don't have to be too concerned with how straight I get it backed in. I let my fiance drive the boat on, and if she's a little off, I just get in the water and push the trailer to match her trajectory!

All of those aluminum trailers with big cypress bunks and lots of air in the tires float. My Rolls trailer weighs 1100 lb. empty and it floats, too. Its a real PITA when you are trying to load your boat when the current is running fast.

My 23/60T Rolls floats in saltwater and sinks in freshwater.
