Re: single axel trailer
 

Well I'm gonna have to shake the magic 8 ball, slips are going fast and trailering this year is really giving me bad vibes. Also with a slip in RI family W/ a dock in Falmouth, and no cape traffic a slip is looking good? :o

Re: single axel trailer
 

I have a old Calkins and it has been a great trailer!! I had to make my on roller brackets as they are now out of biss.
I can get at least 2 or 3 years more out of it if i try! But I trailer from yarmouth to Falmouth everyday in the months of June and July so it gets lots of use.

I changed the axle and springs aabout 3 years ago. they are 3500# and the spring s are mono, no leafs to squeek!

Re: single axel trailer
 

Here's one for ya it might sound dumb but 2500 lb rims does this mean a 4000lb boat/trailer combo has equal weight distrabution of 2000lb per tire and the 2500lb rim would be o.k.?

Re: single axel trailer
 

never heard it put that way??
But it is the two sides combined, Like if tires say they will hole 1500# then you have two you would carry 3000# total.
My springs are they same I belive. I have never heard of the rim's being part of it unless they ment the tires?
