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.

Twin axles as well here, just towed from Miami to VA without a problem. Its reassuring to have an extra set of wheels on the ground if something was to go wrong, a blow out on one tire isn't nearly as bad when you have 3 more sharing the load.

Im running a tandem axle trailer with disc brakes on the front axle. I bought it with a single axle trailer and it rode home fine but the single axle trailer was all rusted out, so I bought a 26 ft. heavy duty trailer and converted it to fit my boat. Love my new kodiak disc brakes, they really work GREAT!!!

Twin axles for me. I haul some of my customers boats around sometimes and I would not feel comfortable hauling mine without tandems. I'm weighing in at about 3,000# with half fuel, so that's good for me.
