    Triton Aluminum Trailers

    I just bought a 2020 189 TRX. I ordered an aluminum trailer for it because the water gets pretty brackish where I fish. Does EZ loader make the bass boat aluminum trailers? The painted trailer that came with boat is an EZ LOADER. The dealer that I bought it from told me the new aluminum trailer would look very similar to the painted one, it would just be aluminum. Do any of you have photos of the Triton OEM aluminum trailers? The dealer didn’t have any photos and I can’t find any online.
    Thanks Ya’ll

    I would think the new Aluminium trailer would like nothing at all like your painted trailer. Not sure who is making the aluminium ones but they will probably be I beam or channel

    Definitely! I’ll put some pics on here when I get it in. I’m surprised that there hasn’t been more people want the aluminum trailers.

    Well, the trailer that came with the boat is a painted channel frame trailer. I think the dealer meant functionally the same. Not necessarily the look being the same.

    If its like the ranger its raw aluminum I beam. I have an 07, no complaints at all with it. Crazy more people don't buy them, espcially guys that fish brackish water.

    If you don't mind me asking, how much difference in price for the aluminum trailer? Also, which dealer did you buy from?

    I believe it was a few hundred dollars difference. Nothing outrageous. I bought the boat from trotter marine in satsuma , al. Great people! Mr. Ray sold me the boat and I took it home with the painted trailer until the aluminum was ready! As far as my experience with them, it has been nothing but awesome!

    That is where I bought mine. Ray had been good to me and his son Burns is an excellent mechanic and all around good guy.

    I didn't know you could get an aluminum trailer for a bass boat. None of the major bass boat brands offer an aluminum trailer as an option on their websites. I contacted several to ask if an aluminum was an option was was told no, I was told I had to get a saltwater boat for that. I also fish for bass in brackish water in southeast LA. Was this a dealer option?

    I had a custom trailer built by Ameritrail. Purchased through Rob Kozan with Alpha Marine in Cape Corrals Fl. He is also a member here. Cost was Right at &6000 and I furnished my own wheels and tires.
