I had a single when I bought my boat, and it was fine. I had to put a new axle on it and a few other things.
But it was a 1980 trailer and last year I had the cash and bought a Brand new tandem, It was the best thing I ever did!!
That said if you are like me (NO MONEY) Then you have to do what you can afford! And I had to keep patching for 5 years till i could afford a new one.
A new trailer will be at least $3,000 now!!

If using the trailer to go to and from the ramp twice a year cause you have a mooring the single will be fine.
If you live a few minutes from the ramp then single is fine!
But if you fish allot and have to travel any length of time to a ramp the stay with tandem!!

And make sure you have a new wheel on that grinder!! The grinder and a good hammer are going to be your best friends soon!
