A couple more boat questions...

Post by salty tiger »

Would I regret going with a 6' power-pole instead of an 8' power-pole?

Performance and longevity wise, is an aluminum trailer worth the extra $$$ versus a galvanized trailer?

Thanks for your help.

Aluminum trailer for sure if you want it to last...
most Auburn guys I know brag they were born with "power poles" but they had to take "extension" courses from Bama to find out how to use them! :roll:

Oh well...its Friday morning and 60+/- days till college football starts again. :thumbup:

Seriously, given the choice I'd go with the 8' just for that extra depth around some creek holes...

Aluminum trailer is the only way to go around salt :thumbup: the only consideration with the pole is does the longer one take up more space :beer:

Go aluminum on the trailer and 8' on the Power Pole.
