Owen's and Son's Marine Aluminum Slide On Boat Trailers
10/25/03 Updated 08/22/04
Trailers for me are how I
get to work. In my career both as a flats fishing guide and offshore
fishing, racing, diving and goofing off I have owned over 10 trailers and
worked with so many others helping folks with their boating issues, not to
mention being at the many shows that I do and hearing the issues that folks
have with the trailer they use. In all of that, I have never had, heard or
seen an issue with an Owens and Sons Aluminum Slide on trailer.
I
really put them to what I thought was the "test" when I asked them to build
a trailer last year for my 02' Lake and Bay flats boat. I called it in over
the phone, They had it ready for me before I was ready to pick it up. I was
skeptical, because they said they had never built a trailer for a Lake and
Bay. I thought surely it would not fit very tight. I was so wrong. It not
only fit tight, but the factory that built my boat made a comment that it
fit like it was one of their custom trailers. I thought to my self "your
custom trailer company could not even begin to imitate this trailer". I have
had that trailer now for 1.5 years and 20,000 miles of towing. I had one
problem, A light bulb went out on it last week. 10/25/03.
11/04/04 The latest trailer I had
them build for me was for my new boat, pictured here in this thumbnail. I
tried something new with them. Teflon slides and LED lighting. UN REAL. I
back into the ramp to my desired position, (wheels barely wet) Un latch step
on my bow and slide right off with the boat. Works PERFECT ! I recommend
letting these guys set your trailer up the way they feel works. The LED
lighting is Brilliant to say the least. Gotta have it. I am trailoring early
in the morning to work. Would really suck if I got hit cause' someone could
not see me, now, they have no excuse.
Affordability, custom work,
great components, and no failure. I am not a real flashy person when it
comes to my trailers. They built mine very plain simple. They can however
really dress them up so you will feel good at any of those flashy metal
flake boat tournaments. I have seen trailers from other manufacturers twice
as expensive with only half the quality. You cannot get a better deal. While
these guys are in business (and they have been forever) I will go nowhere
else.
Thanks Owen's and Son's
boat trailers for
making the Marine Retail industry look good.
