Need weight to find the right trailer
Does anyone know the weight of a 1987 V-20 with a 150 OB 1987 Yamaha motor? Need a new trailer and wondering if I could get away with a single axle bunk trailer. Only go 1 mile each way twice a year. Any feedback would be great!

For that distance only towing twice a year. I would say a single axle would be fine. Weight of the boat 1920lbs, motor 450 lbs or so plus fuel and gear.

I used to regularly tow my boat on my single axle Shoreline trailer to Fla. It's 1600 miles one way, never had a problem, not so much as a flat. But, like Reel and RW have said, make sure you have a trailer designed to handle the load safely. Oh, and don't forget to get one with brakes... disk or drum, your choice. I consider them necessary, some other's don't. Again, your choice, but for the sake of peace of mind and safety, I feel it's better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.
