Hitchhiker Trailer
Bought my Tandem axle Hitchhiker in 1978 for my 20' Seafari. Still love it. It moved from salt (always rinsed it as well as I could) to fresh water in 2000. Axle is original. Have replaced bunks once, springs once or twice, the bearings, lights, wheels and tires as necessary. The small tires and v-shaped cross pieces kept the boat lower and easier to use on slippery ramps. When the boat load is coming on the trailer it is forward of the trailer axle increasing the tongue load instead of lifting it and the vehicle. Almost lost the rig with the former HIGH trailer.
