:?: :?: I have been checking out your library for info on the right trailer.
Lots of good stuff there but I have just a few specific questions.
From all the info on the site I see that there many choices out there, some better than others. Due to the location of the distributor and hoping for better service and parts availability I will probably go with an EZ Loader.
They offer a tandem trailer with a 4300 Lbs payload , Galv. with bunks
TEZL 96 19-22/24 It is 96'' wide overhall with 80'' between the fenders.
Is that payload an overkill? and is that the right width between the fenders to accomodate the 22' Angler with a 90 & 9.9 Yamaha ?

Edwin,

That sounds like the EZ-Loader trailer on which my 22 Cruise sits, and it sits just fine. Easy to load and unload.
 
Thanks Barry

I will be going to Ca to pick up the boat in December and I am making sure I buy the right size trailer for the 22'Angler.
No 22' in my area I can look at.
Thanks again

Edwin,

I went out and looked at my trailer, it is model 6-TAB 20-23 rated at 4600 pounds and is equipped with bunks. I know several 22's are carried on single axle trailers but I think you are right to go for a dual axle model. Looking at the EZ-loader site, I suspect the only difference between the 4300 and 4600 pound rating is the load range of the tires.
 
We have a single axel, but if I trailed distance often, I would probably
add a second axel. Tire failure has me thinking...

FYI...

My boat and trailer were used in Alaska (i.e., salt water) for three years. I purchased the boat in March. The previous owner affirmed that the boat and motors were in good condition (which has proved true), but admitted that the trailer needed work (this also proved to be true).

The trailer is an EZ Loader with dual axles. During the summer, one of the wheels fell off while trailing down a country road. Fortunately, I was able to recover it. But it was obvious that the entire brake assembly, hub and bearings needed replacing. Investigating further, it became clear that the other three wheels also needed to be entirely rebuilt. So that's what I did!

While the parts were on order, however, I was able to continue using the trailer--with three wheels!--to launch and retrieve the boat at a nearby ramp (only two miles one-way). That kind of redundancy is pretty nice!!
 
:) New update on my trailer search.
The fine gentlelman who is selling the boat managed to find a one year old Pacific tandem trailer for sale at a dealership near his place. I dont have all the details other than it was all set up for a 22' cruiser that now has a permanent berth.
It has disk brakes and I hear that is a good option.
When this is all done I should be a little smarter on trailer details.
So, It sounds like my search is over.
Thanks for the good tips, I will make sure I flush and rince brakes and other parts after each use.
I had been looking for a good used boat for some time. In December I will pull it home and park it in the snow bank and be anxious for spring.
From California to Alberta the Pacific trailer will have time to prove itself a little

Ed :D
 
Just to close the topic, the trailer I bought is
Model # G21-TW4-5
Pacific trailer
with disc brakes on one axel. I expect no trouble with this trailer and time will tell.
