Drop dead gorgeous boat. That's literally one of the best years ever for that hull. 2002 and 2003.
I went from a 2001 to this too - you will be soooooo happy. Same path. I still cringe seeing your 2001 like that. Mentioned it before but I'm sorry for your loss. Happy for your upgrade. You'll freaking love that thing. |

Thank you all for responding. I was able to fine a trailer locally. Not exactly what I was looking for but I think it'll work just fine.

I know it's a Master Crap but.looks like a decent trailer and I bet he will come off the price quite a bit. |

The problem with an Air trailer is the axle placement will be farther forward. You could have too light of a tongue, which isn't really safe for towing, not to mention, it could tip up if you stepped on the swim deck or something, potentially. Going the other direction, you'd just have a very heavy tongue, which is still not great, but a better problem to have, in my opinion. |

Thanks, I will check into it! Yeah, I saw the tandem that was modified for a sailboat. What a way to ruin a nice trailer... |

Super long drive, but this is the single axle I was talking about in an earlier post. Also a tandem axle in Seattle, but it's been modified for a sail boat.

Trailer from an Air Nautique. Would this work for my 2002 SANTE?

Seeing how any trailer for a Super Sport or Super Air from 1995 through 2006 would fit your boat perfectly, I'd keep scouring CL, the forums, etc. for a used trailer. They might be kind of rare, but not unheard of, and you might have to make a bit of a drive, but one has to come up. If you were close to me I'd let you use mine in the meantime, it just sits in the woods from May - October. But I think we're about 1,800 miles apart.

My ‘96 196 sits on a single axle Prestige trailer. Steel. Judging by the OEM trailer sticker, it appears original to the boat as you can still make out Ski Nautique. Maybe this outfit is still around.

My 2-axle trailer is made by DHL Enterprises. I believe that DHM Enterprises and DHL Enterprises were a parent/subsidiary of the same organization. They made great trailers. Too bad that they are no longer in business.

DHM went out of business over 10 years ago. The company that bought them has also gone out of business.

Some of the Eagle trailers make the boat sit too high on the trailer for my liking. However, Chris Quinner's Eagle under his 206 looks great. EZ Loader also makes inboard trailers, but I am only familiar with their pontoon trailers which are very well built. There is another brand out there too titled DH or DHL (Shipping Company). Seem like a lot of California boats sit on those.
Good luck, |

Still waiting... The official response from the insurance co is: "We are evaluating the damage to your property." |

A lot of people with Boatmate trailers are upset about their performance with the 2010 - current SN 200’s. They don’t load properly and require modifications to perform adequately, still not a good fit. Another reason to stick with my 196. The 200’s do ski well though.

Was that $6500 dual axle?
I’m sorry but the Boatmates look ok under a SN. But close inspection and talking an awful lot with them, I feel their trailer is junk. I thought I wanted a Boatmate. And don’t expect to get something special from them even if you’re willing to pay for it, like upgrading from a 3500lb axle.... |

It's amazing what that guy has done with his boat. Wow, he even removed the bottom of the hull. The trailer co he's referring to is Magnum. They're popular around here. I contacted them last week. The quote was 6500 plus tax. 10 - 12 week wait. |

Here is what it says on their web site-
Ram-Lin works side by side with Correct Craft to provide the highest quality products and services: wet coating boat towers, powder coating various boat components and CNC manufacturing components for the wake board towers. As of December 2017, Ram-Lin no longer manufactures new trailers for Correct Craft/Nautique. If you need your trailer repaired, please contact our parts department to schedule an appointment. |

Yeah Chris did have a trailer built for his 196 which turned out to be for a 200? What a slap in the face. I’m pretty certain Ramlin made him happy in the end.
I was at Ramlin a couple months ago and there was a load of competitor trailers there. I asked what brand B trailers we’re doing there. Ramlin said some Nautique dealers send brand B trailers to Ramlin to fix them and make them work right before the customers get them. |

I'd go for the Ramlin as well but I thought they quit doing boat trailers and it seems a couple of well known members here had problems with them getting trailers for the right hull ?? The Lincoln which was just a F 150 with a sedan body is long gone- replaced by the Avalanche

Ramlin would be my preference too. I love my single axle Ramlin.

So nice that my grandma let Gary borrow her Lincoln. FYI Gary, Ramlin is very much in the trailer business still. Put that trailer to use and bring Big Bertha down to O-town and Ramlin will fix their “competitors” trailer just right.
