I have a dual axle with surge brakes. For tax purposes it has a 4990 lb rating. But with the 4 13" tires I think it would do 6200? It is overkill but if something goes wrong, the extra capacity is a huge bonus. Salt water eats steel trailers. It is nice if you don't have to worry if the rusty looking springs will fall off going over expansion joints. I don't know what the cost differential is for used twin versus single axle, but I like having dual axles.

Also, I just got electric brakes for the 25 footer trailer. I am an INSTANT convert. They are amazing and very effective. It was $70 for a timer controller. Now I get 13000 lb to stop on a DIME. And no goofy backing up lockout mechanism. The local boat place told me to try it, as hydraulic brakes rot out or bind up in a few years anyway. Plus the parts are cheap and no bleeding lines.
