Okay perfect that makes sense! Thank you so much!I can't tell you which to buy or not buy, but pick one where your 280's weight is in the midrange of the trailer's load capacity. If the 280 is too light for the trailer and doesn't settle the springs down a bit, the ride will be harsh and not help your boat. If the 280 is too heavy for the trailer it will compress the springs too much and they won't be able to cushion the ride adequately.
Port Clinton is just an hour away! I’m glad you mentioned Loadmaster, so I’ll definitely be taking a look at those!I bought a Loadmaster based in Port Clinton Ohio. I couldn't be happier, it's a very well built trailer.
I was pulling it last weekend, and had stopped at a store. A guy came over and was admiring how nicely the weight was distributed.
He used to be a long haul trucker.
Great advise…I can't tell you which to buy or not buy, but pick one where your 280's weight is in the midrange of the trailer's load capacity.

I hope they are better than their website which locked up safari in both my phone and pad…If you in the Port Clinton area give Ron's Trailer a call in Oregon Ohio
When they built my trailer for my 310 they spent 3 hrs. adjusting the trailer once my boat was on the trailer.I hope they are better than their website which locked up safari in both my phone and pad…
Does the website work for you? Wanted to see what brands they have. Did you get aluminum?When they built my trailer for my 310 they spent 3 hrs. adjusting the trailer once my boat was on the trailer.
Check out EZ loader as well, has been under my 96 250 for six years. just another brand to look into. IMHO great trailer.
Just saw that, nice outfit…edited my post with pic, aluminum.
Also, get disc electric over hydraulic brakes. The safety factor over surge brakes is unbelievable. My 270DA on the triax trailer would stop the truck.Hey guys, looking to buy a trailer for my 05’ sundancer 280. What do I look for that’ll be good?
