Will this trailer work???

I think you would be ok. In addition to a spare, I would also carry a spare hub assembly. I cannot remember where I saw it, but I think it was a tie down brand that had a whole hub and spindle assembly which came with a mounting bracket to keep it on the trailer. Sure a lot easier to just put a whole new hub and spindle assembly on rather than changing bearings on the side of the road.

I'd think it would be ok as long as you don't have the boat loaded down and full of gas.

Life jackets, coolers, chairs, batteries, anchors, tackle boxes, rod/reels, skis, ropes, tool kits, oil........it can really add up.

no way!!!!!!!
you will need at least a triple axel trailer with elec over hyd brakes on all axels and a minimum of a F-450 4x4 to pull it with..

oops , thought i was on the hull truth site


you will be fine, like the above carry spare hubs & tires. if you are only going to tow 250 miles a year, might consider pulling the tires off of the trailer when you park it and keep them in a place out of the sun, i think dry rot is going to be your biggest problem. if you can't do that, put the trailer up on blocks and get them off the ground & maybe wrap a tarp over the tires..

Thanks for all your input. I will be trailering boat to place where I will be in storage right next to the ramp I use. Other than that I will be just be using trailer to move boat a few hundred yards to launch and then back to boat yard at end of season I will have to tow it home for winter storage. I plan on filling boat up once down there and then running it down and filling up at local gas station before I park it for winterization and putting it up on blocks.

I hate to try to sell this trailer and then have to buy another one.

I used a old 3500 lb on mine for 5 years towing every were, you will be just fine!

thanks made my day a lot better.

What is exceptable for overhang of the boat over the back roller?

One good thing the trailer has brakes.

The normal issue would be the tongue weight, say somewhere between 50 and 150 pounds.
I'm too sorry to go measure mine but here's a shot.
