Right now I have a Shorelander Roller trailer for my Lund 18foot Mr Pike and have found that when power loading, it tends to not want to center itself very well. So I am thinking of getting a different trailer and the dealer I bought it from suggested an Eagle bunk trailer.

He quoted me a price of $1300 bucks to boot with my trailer trade in. Is this a good price and those of you who have them, are they worth the money?

I upgraded to an Eagle when I bought my 2002 Lund Angler SS. I think I paid an additional $1500. I got a swing tongue, disc brakes, Fishboat package(4 bunks, graphics, diamond step plates), aluminum Wheels and Spare. Well worth the money, and loads perfect every time. I'd say $1300 is about right.

Eagle makes a great rig. You should be very happy with the trailer, and $1300 with your trade isn't bad at all.

Another possible option is to remove the roller assmeblies from you current trailer and replace them with ShoreLand'r bunk assmblies.

approximately 6 years ago, ran an Eagle trailer and it did a great job. The high point is loading the same each and every time! In my opinion well worth the extra dollars.

I love my Eagle, makes loading and unloading a breeze.

Question. I don't have a swing tongue on it right now. How hard is it to convert a trailer to a swing tongue? Does the brake actuator go in the part that swings? I'm not very mechanical. I should probably bring it to the local boat dealer and talk to them once. I was directed away from the swing tongue but looking back I'm thinking I shouldn't have listened to that advice considering my garage layout.

I think Eagle could convert, or a local welding/fab shop should be able to. I can take a pic of mine tonight and post it for you.
