In Florida, any thing that weighs more than 1500 lbs is supposed to have brakes. The dealers get away with selling no brakes because they sell the trailer seperate and with out the boat. I have an aluminum tandem with no brakes. Ninety per cent of my towing is 2 miles or less. I tow to the keys every two years (750 miles oneway) and never had a problem. This year coming back traffic stalled in the right lane as I was approaching and had to stop quick. I managed to stop, but it was very very scary. The next time we go south, I will have brakes..
