Default Re: Single axle trailer

I agree with Brian. That trailer is too small for anything but yard moving. A single axle, rated properly and adjusted for proper tounge weight is the way to go. A new trailer, properly set-up gives great confidence when you need to trailer it some distance.

Default Re: Single axle trailer

As stated twice above, a properly setup single axle trailer that is designed for the amount of weight you are planning to tow is perfectly adequate.

My 1977 SeaCraft had a wonderful (new) single axle trailer under it that towed like a dream, my 1971 (current) SeaCraft also had a single axle aluminum trailer under it when I bought it. The single axle trailer under my 20', although plenty big enough for the boat, had a tired bearing and it dropped a wheel off in Friday afternoon Ft Lauderdale rush hour traffic five miles after I bought the boat! Not a day I wish to repeat.

So, my '71 20' SeaCraft now has a new tandem axle aluminum trailer with stainless disc brakes that is likely overkill for the boat, but peace of mind is a wonderful thing [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
