tailer size

[cterrebonne]

i was curious to see how many people have single axle trailers versus tandems?

Tandem here with brakes on only one axle.

I have had both under my V. The single can do the job fine. The tandem will do it much better. I do a lot of trailering and like...love having that extra axle under the boat. Everything rides so much better. I also think its great spreading the load over 4 bearing sets as opposed to two.

I could go on, but the bottom line is it really depends on how you use the boat.

I have always used tandem/with brakes. When I bought the package in '89 it came with single axle, I bumped it to the tandem before taking delivery (thanks dad). Very happy and trailers beautifully. Farthest I've gone is from RI to Lake George and i have done that about six times.

I have towed my tandem trailer from IN to MA (2000 miles round trip) twice, and several trips of 300-500 miles round trip with no problems.

My tailer? I had a tingle, but now I have a double.

I had a single under mine for the first 5 years, was just fine, but when I had to replace I went with a double and there was a world of difference!!
If you can afford it go tandem, If not you will be fine with the right size single.

I highly reccommend a dual axle trailer, that way when one of your axles falls off, like happened to me this weekend, you are not stuck in the road.

Me got the original one bought with the boat in 1975.
Single axle, will convert to dual ASAP.

Twin axles here, I wouldn't want to pull it on 1.
