Default Re: Trailer Value

Tell him you will give him the $600 if he keeps the boat !!
Well if it has a 20 footer on it already then it might be heavy anough??
I ran a single for 4 years and it was fine. Just look at the weight that in can carry?? will be on a sticker some were on the trailer.
The heavier the better!! I think mine was a 3500 #, that would be the smallest Iwould go!! Since you have a very short distance to go.
Check the tire saize, alot of trailers weight limts are based on tire size also, so if it has 13" tires you can increase to 14 or 15 there fore changing the gross weight that it can handle. It may say right on the sticker that it is lets say 3500 with 13" tires or 4000 with 14, or 4500 with 15??

Check the wheel berrins before trailering to far!!! This has to be the easiest thing to maintain and the most forgotten!! Leaving you on the side of the road in a heart beat!!
Tap on the frame all the way around, I know so many people that have gotten trailers painted up to look real nice only to find it all rotted in quick order!

Good Luck and llet us no what happens!!
