Best Dry Loading Trailer for my 15' Panther Ice Hull

[Huffduf41]

Hey guys I need a trailer that makes dry loading and unloading (in the Michigan winter) a joke. Here are the best two options I've found so far.

Option 1: Karavan trailer sold by 1,000 island airboats.

Option 2: Loadmaster Tilt Trailer


Cost is pretty similar, please let me know what you think and if I'm missing a more optimal option.

Tight lines,

Dustin

Check out Dakota Airboats. He's in Ohio and builds trailers.

I got a Dakota tilt trailer, it's stupid easy just set it up proper.

Thanks guys, I reached out to Chris a few weeks back. He's checking to see if he can get me a galvanized tilt, the salt they throw on the roads up here in the winter is nasty.

Being a trailer guy I can tell you the Loadmaster trailer is of superior quality compared to a Karavan, So if the $ is the same it's a no brainer to go with the Loadmaster. Dakota built a good trailer for what it was, not sure it has near the features of what your looking at ?

Thanks Don, they're both right around the $6k mark and I agree w/ you on the quality. The only reason I'm even considering the Karavan is because 1,000 Islands boats typically get launched when open water isn't an option so one would assume they have dry unloading/loading down to a science.

If you need corrosion resistance, aluminum is way better than galvanized. Dakota makes them too.
