New Load Rite trailer all ready to go!! The ole 16 year old ShoreLander's whiskers were beyond manicuring!! 16 years of brutal saltwater abuse did it's toll. Very pleased with Load Rite dealer Sandpiper Marine in Accomac, VA. They perfectly matched trailer to my Lund boat plus even did a follow-up test launch in a little lake behind their dealership. Load Rite trailers are built in PA so gotta be good!!  Must still get titled/registered in PA when I get home.  |

My 79 year young crabbing buddy will love those new PV 6' PVC guide-ons when directing Ole Loggy as I approach those steep launch ramps during the launch/loading!! The "sight unseen" was a disappearing trailer!!  Between my crabbing buddy, 2 SIL's and 4 grandkids(plus #5 on the way)....(oh forgot to mention the Mrs & Daughters ) I don't get too many of those solo/peaceful trips anymore. Pontoon boat anyone??  Only thing I wish that were different is that our Spring Gobbler season wouldn't overlap fishing!! Even being retired....way too much to do & too little time!! |

I think the Load Rites are made in Denver, Lancaster County.

I think the Load Rites are made in Denver, Lancaster County. They're mfg down along Lincoln Hwy near Fairless Hills, PA. With covid delays etc they were hard to get before this Spring. The Accomac VA dealer prolly had at least 50 or more now on their lot. My Certificate of Origin showed a mfg date of 2/24/22. Dealer said Load Rite's production now is really ramped up getting back to normal. |

Sandpiper Marine is a bout 9 miles from my buddys' place. He hasn't dealt with them as he doesn't have a boat but his SIL the Dr. does and he deals with them...All good reviews. My bud has lived there 2 years now... bought another 40 acre piece to run beagles on then another 220 acre piece cause he really enjoys running dogs. He wasn't looking forward to the move. I figure he's stayin now.  |

I figure he's stayin now.  I was impressed with Sandpiper’s operation!! I use Thornes Marine in Horntown for outboard work. My property is about 15 miles North bordering West side of Chincoteague Bay on Wallops Island. If it weren’t for all my family here I’d move down there in a heartbeat. Much slower pace of life down there not to mention deer and turkey everywhere!😊 |

My friend was born in Va. but not the Eastern shore All his family is there now three daughter with husbands and kids so he was outvoted. He and his wife were both from Va...Going home was easier for them.
