I have (2) v's. One on a single, one on a dual axle. The single used to go to Florida every year to my uncle's house in the Fall, and back to New Jersey in the Spring. Never had a lick of trouble with towing it 1600 miles each way, twice a year. Just remember some common sense things. Keep gear inside the boat to a minimum, (fuel tank almost empty, no water in the live wells, etc etc). Just common sense items. ALWAYS have at least one spare tire, tire repair kit, 12V compressor, bearing buddies on both wheels, a grease gun with at least one unopened cartridge of wheel bearing grease and at least 2 spare axle bearings with you. A membership to BoatUS is a great idea, and get the towing insurance option for an additional $14 a year. As long as the trailer is set up (tongue weight) properly and the trailer is at the proper position under your boat you should have zero problems. Especially for only a 10 mile tow. (That's just getting the wheels warmed up)

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
