Interesting. I didn't realize the average steel trailer is only about 550lbs.

Not sure about other boat trailers...but... 

My aluminum trailer floats!  Just enough bouyancy in the tires and bunks to keep it off the bottom.  This is good and bad.  Bad in that it will go sideways (empty) when backing into the water.  Good in that I can easily align it with my boat when landing. 

(Yeah, I am one of the get-in-the-water-to-load-my-boat guys.  I won't power the boat on to the trailer.)

Well Gregg, that's just Jason boating in February and we all know he's nuts!  ;D

(Jason, we're all just jealous of you being the first one out in 2012 (locally) of course!)

Actually, I did not power load this time. That ramp sucks. At the water level it's got to be close to a 45 degree drop.

Good waterproof boots are all that were needed!
