Don and Terry are both correct. Denny has tall 15” tires (75 section) and heavier axle. I was very nervous thinking about pulling a single axle trailer 1300 mile when I drove her up from Florida last year. Especialy through the W. Virginia mountains. It pulled straight as could be, the brakes worked perfect and the tongue weight felt spot on. I can’t even recall a moment where it started to wag.
I haven’t been brave enough to retrieve like Denny has (with dry feet and wheels) mostly to keep the back of my truck from lifting off the ramp. I have gotten to having the axle and hubs just above the water. But with the rollers tuned, it pulls up on-center every time. The point is, I think any trailer can be good or bad depending on how well it’s set up. That’s probably why there are so many options. I will say the rollers freak me out every time I start backing in or pulling up. I have horrible visions of the Restless Lady unintentionally dry-docked. I TRIPLE check the winch clutch, Boat Buckle and safety chain every time.
