Has anyone experienced any problems hauling their 2018 24’ Shorelander trailer this season? I know it’s early but I was wondering if anyone can give me some feedback. I’ve read that they had problems with 2015-2016 models?

I have a '17 Shorelander trailer for my 212X and have had no problems with it. I haul the boat at 70mph on the interstate roughly 1 hour each direction.

Maintenance is key! I always check my tire pressures, wear patterns on the tires, and grease the bearings regularly.

Over the winter, I installed VeVe Guides, LED taillights, and Boat Buckles. All these items make trailering easier and I highly recommend them!

Thanks for the reply. If you can, I would love to see some pics.
