DROP TAIL OPEN TRAILER

thinking about a droptail trailer. wondering if anyone had one and how well does it work. is there enough tie down positions and if you use the tie downs that are furnished is that good enough? my has a bump skid and just wondering if it would bottom out going up the ramp? also how well does the trailer track and pull. thanks for any advice. torn between the droptail or a aluma utility trailer.

I'm using a BIG TEX drop tail open trailer. Paid $1595.00 for it in 2011. The bed dimensions are: 5 ft. wide by 10 ft. long. Plenty of room for my RT - S. The wheels are behind center, so it's easy to manuever, and backing up is a cinch. I installed a Tailgate Assist, because it's almost a 2 man job to lift the gate. Now, I can raise and lower it with one finger. There are four tiedown loops welded to the side rails, but I needed to add a heavy duty screw eye to the front rail to properly tie down the Spyder.
It's a good fit for Spyder owner.

Dive safe,

Just curious as to how a 5 ft. trailer fits a 5'2" wide Spyder? What's the trick?

I thought DropTail was a trailer with a hydraulic lowering tail gate with the entire trailer foldable so that it could be stood up. Now I guess they are ten foot long. I am so confused.

You are correct, the droptail has the hydraulic lowering tail gate.

Thanks for catching that. My mistake. The dimensions are
77" X 10ft.
