Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a couple of photos of the new LM18 trailer that was just delivered to our warehouse by Float-On Boat Trailers. This trailer will be pickup up in a couple of weeks by one of our customers for his LM18.
Float-On builds a really nice trailer, using quality parts and hardware!!! They also build each trailer to order so it will fit a particular design. I am actually able to send Float-On a PDF drawing of our boats and they build a custom trailer to fit.

Not bad at all in today's market. Looks all aluminum?

Looks good Reid and a very fair price for an aluminum trailer in this day and age. Tom

Re: LM18 Trailer - Float-On
Wow, that is a great trailer. The only thing I would add would be a roller on the back. I have launched at a bunch of shallow launches where the sharp bow hits between the bulks when I crank it on. The trailer for my lm18 came from a boat from 1978. It has the old school galvanizing, and while the hardware has rusted from the saltwater the steel is still in tip top shape. As soon as my axle or leaf spring go, I would definitely be interested.
