Experience with Tennessee trailers?

I just got a new Sweetwater pontoon (20' - 2086 model) with a Tennessee single axle trailer. Anyone have experience on the reliability / longevity of the Tennessee trailers? Just like to have an idea of any problems I may have down the road.
Thanks.

They've been making Tennessee Trailers since the late '50's in the Chattanooga area, and they make fine trailers. They claim to use superior steel to other trailer companiies.

I had one under an inboard outboard, and it lasted longer than the boat.

Be glad your pontoon has one.

Thanks for the feedback! So far have been pleased with everything except the pontoon guides that came with it. Replaced those.

Looked at their website. Are you sure the trailer is capable enough to handle the weight of your toon? Looks as if the limit is 2,200# if I am reading the chart correctly. I have a 2015 2086 and it weighs in at over 2500#. My trailer capacity is far above the weight of my 2086.

I had an old one under an inboard outboard boat, and it was a very good trailer.
