I am trying to decide between two magic tilt trailers for my 15ft boat.


Trailer #1.

narrow milled channel, leaf springs

Trailer #2

Rectangular box tubing with torsion axles.

Everything else is the same, 1,700 lbs axel hot dipped galvanized, 13' tires

For me Id go with option 2.
Looks like a better built trailer.
I have the torsion axles on my big trailer and i love them.

Personel prefference IMO. I have many trailers (not all boat) and one has torsion axles. It is a tandem, but I really cannot tell much difference between it and other trailers. If the torsion costs you more $$, I would go with the springs...

The Tube trailer will be stronger, but do you need that much strength for a 15' boat? That choice is up to you my friend...
