[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 512396, member: 3438"] I haven't heard anything about the Bear aluminum trailers, but their steel and galv steel have had some issues from reports I've seen. Bad welds, cracked welds, and even trailers not built square. Ours is fine though, but would nave appreciated larger, stronger tubing. It flexes some winching the boat on. I'd give it a good scrutiny of it at the dealer. It is easy to forget the trailer when you are drooling over boat and motor. ;) Maybe they have much better QA on the new aluminum, though. I have brocraft mounts for rod holders and lure tray/cup holders. I added innertube washers for better hold. Sliding a binimi top in those channels is probably doable, but probably awkward. In 35+ years of fishing the river, never IDed a smallie on electrionics that I was able to catch. Some walleyes and cats. Reading the water, current seams, expierence, etc plays more of role. Our waters are generally murky, and can't tell depth by sight. So, 2D is a must. [/QUOTE]
