To Brake or not to Brake
I just bought a 76 v20 with a Johnson 112 on a loadrite roller trailer with no brakes. I will be towing with a 06 Expedition and was wondering if it would be a good idea to install trailer brakes. The previous owner towed with a pathfinder with no problems. Any thoughts?

Expedition will stop it! Long distances - high speeds,surge brakes would be in order. Billy Mac ;D

don't worry that truck will stop it no need for brakes just another thing to work on and cause you problems when you only want to fish.

Re: To Brake or not to Brake
Check your state laws . . . Most states require brakes
http://www.boatus.com/trailerclub/laws.asp Also check with your insurance company . . . to see what happens if you get into an accident without brakes installed on your trailer.
