Hello, I am going to be trading for a 200 hp rated boat this winter, pantera classic is one of my top two. My question is what's everyone's opinion on the 3 inch channel trailer with 14 inch wheels that it comes with standard. Should I upgrade to the 4 inch with 15 inch wheels or is the 3 inch trailer sufficient? Thanks!
Could depend on how far you plan on traveling to fish. I tend to wander a good ways, so I would upgrade.
14" to 15" tires is a significant improvement in reducing highway headaches.

I have sold both the 3" & 4" trailers under the Classic.. Have had no issues at all with the 3" frames w/
14" tires but as for looks there is no doubt the 4" w/15" tires just looks a whole lot tougher. I think either will do the job just fine and depends on your budget.. The 3" standard saves you a bunch a money and also lightens the tow load.
Most every other brand than BCB comes with 14” tires standard. The 3” frame has been flawless in the operation and we’ve actually had less issues in comparison with the spring axles, and smaller framed tandem, than we have torsion axle trailers.
What does the upgrade cost?
That is dealership information as we can’t post pricing under our guidelines.
How about what's the price difference between 3" frames w/ 14"and the 4" w/15" tires
Just bustin' ya, I understand.
Prolly cuzz the stiffer frame puts more load into everything else and the smaller frame dampens more of the bumps. Best trailers out there right next to RangerTrail.Originally Posted by Bass Cat Boats
