    I am through with Bennington

    I also had an issue with a replaced tube that I damaged within 5 days of having the boat. Same thing I used the boat through the season and the dealer replaced the tube when I had the boat winterized. Most of my issues were created by Bennington but not noticed by the dealer. Although my problem...

    Shorelandr vs. Mid-America trailer

    I have a Mid-America and really like it. I have had it for a year and their customer service has been excellent. I had an issue with one of my LED tail lights getting water in it, they sent me 2 new ones.

    Shrink wrap or not?

    Not sure what it costs to shrinkwrap, but another option could be to purchase a semi-custom trailerable cover then you'd have it for future use. I trailered my boat all last summer and with a good coat of wax on the front the cleaning of the bugs weren't that bad. I didn't have many bugs on the...

    Trailer bunks plastic covered or carpeted? Thoughts

    When I purchased my new boat I got a Mid America trailer with it. The bunks and front stops are wood covered in plastic. I don't have any experience with plastic covered bunks only carpeted bunks on my previous boat trailer. At first I thought plastic was a good thing but the more I think about...
