Can you post a picture of the new trailer, thanks.

Forgot to snap any, I'll take some when I pick her up this week. But it looks like this:

Here she is! I ended up upgrading from a 4,600 to 6,000 pound capacity version with larger wheels that more closely matches the Shorelander for 300 more bucks.

Question - what is this? I am assuming it's a water inlet for the ballast tanks. The trailer folks said it rests on the bunk so could crack over time, but the Shorelander trailer had the same issue. You can see on the bunk where it had been rubbing and made an indentation.

Yup it's for the ballasts. Dumbest possible place for a fill/drain location. You'd think they'd move it in or out more.

$4,300 minus trade in.

Took it for the first dip. It drives really nice, seems to make less noise than the Shorelander. The guide poles are really annoying, though. They get in the way and it's hard to zip up the cover. I also can't strap in the wakesurf board as it bangs into them. Thinking of removing those poles. I never had any problems getting her into the trailer without them before. It did seem like it didn't slide in quite as nice as the Shorelander did, though.

I took my post guides off too. Check out the first post here. I think it might help/give you a peace of mind.
