Have a 16' Campagna skiff that needs a new trailer. I called the local place and they only offer ones with 13" wheels...not upgradable. Any advice on finding a new trailer that may be more substantial...but not all the way to aluminum prices?

You can get a nice trailer for $2k. I like Ram-Lin but I doubt you want to drive to Orlando. Float on makes a nice trailer in that price range and I think we have some local dealers. Ez loader trailers seem to be holding up well and their oil bath hubs are fairly maintenance free.

Ended up being $1700, the 13 inch tires are fine. I went with the 2k lb rated trailer rather than the lighter version that you can't upgrade the tires on. This one has a bolt pattern that'll accept bigger tires, but these will work fine. I'll post photos later when we fit it.

All's left is inserting the damn 1/2" rope into the rub rail. That thing a bitch.

Smallest box end wrench that the rope will fit freely through the end. Drag it through the rub rail and the rope will lay down behind it. It's not a fun process.
