Will this trailer work?
Do you guys think this would haul my V20? Looks like a good deal. Do I have to have a dual axle? Tsubaki, dont you use a single axle.
HELP my trailer is seconds away from death and I gotta make a move.  http://savannah.craigslist.org/boa/1317918985.html

Don't buy that one; you need one that can hold more weight. Trailer doesn't necessarily need to be dual axle, but it will need to handle close to 5000 pounds.

I don't know if you are right about that BGA....I dont think you will find any single axle trailer rated for 5000 lbs as you would be over the tire limits I think....I have a single axle and its rated for 3600 lbs.... its the highest capacity load rite makes in a single axle. That being said though I believe there are way way more V-20's on tandem axle trailers because most people/dealers didnt feel comfortable loading a single axle trailer to its highest rated capacity.... I always hold my breath when I hit a bump and look in the rear view mirror and see those tires getting POUNDED...

Wilson, my bad on the single axle capacity; you may be right about that.
That being the case, I would think it's risky then to tow a V with a single axle trailer. In an older post, MJ mentioned that his V20 weighed in at close to 5000 pounds after adding in all the extras like fuel, coolers, etc. http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...ht=hull+weight

BGA was right, I just sold a single axle trailer that had a 6 lug 5000 lb axle under it with 6000 lb disc brakes for a 22 ft boat.

I know...I don't even LOOK anymore...there's one place on I-85 N comin' back from Lake Hartwell when comin' into Greenville...a road-to-bridge transition that's more like a LAUNCH!!...and then, on the other side of the bridge, IT'S THE SAME DAMN THING!!...  ...and if that's not bad enough, the approach is on an angle, so not only does everything gets BOUNCED, but it all gets KICKED SIDEWAYS as well......F---KIN' DOT!!...ain't figured out yet about COMPACTION!!...

BGA is RIGHT...only thing I would add is if you do some serious towing, maybe bump that weight up to 6,000 lbs...my whole rig is 4700 lbs and this is a place a little overkill can literally be a lifesaver...

Thanks guys, I need a trailer for around a grand and thought this might fly. I'd rather feel confident pulling it up and down 95.

I need to do more research to be 100% sure but when I was researching tires i did not see a tire that could take 2500 lbs.
