I live in Florida and occasionally use the river if we don't make it out to our lake house. Our new mojo is in production and we opted out on the painted steel trailer which comes with a 5 year warranty. I inquired about the boat mate galvanized and they only give you a 1 year warranty on the galvanized trailer. A company that my dealer uses for their regals built me a custom aluminum welded trailer using the boatmate mojo trailer and boat as the template. Turned out nice and heavy duty. They put a boat on it today just to send me pics. Our boat is not complete yet. Over the winter I will have the fenders powder coated to match the boat and have moomba grip put on them. It has torsion axles and brakes on both axles.

Nice looking trailer. How does its weight compare to the standard Boatmate trailer?

It weighs less. Not sure yet on exact weight. Haven't picked it up yet.

Very Sweet looking
I think Boatmate should have an aluminum option for those people in the brackish and salt water

Looks good.
Maybe they could fab up some sort of better rear tie down attachment point than the factory trailers.

Very nice. Should hold up well on the St. Johns.

It should. I probably will only get used on the river 1-2 times per year. The rest is at the lake house. But it only takes one dip for the steel trailer to start rusting from the inside out.

looks good and interesting that it's an open channel down the main part. wiring will be easy to work on down the road.
