spend money on a second axle before wasting it on brakes. That second axle will still be there, you'll be lucky if the brakes work more than one season

I just switched from tandem to single. I only use it to launch in spring and recover in fall. Its flat land and the ramp is 10 miles away.
If you are staying local, close to a ramp, you'll be fine. If your plan on taking the highway to Smith Mountain Lake, get a tandem with brakes. Weight wise, you're fine with a #3500 class

In Va if you have two axles it has to have brakes and they will give out tickets at the ramp when you fishing they look for inspection stickers on dual axles trailers in va beach its easy money!

Another reason I'm glad I don't live in Va.
NJ requires brakes on trailers over a certain weight class, but there are no inspections or stickers thank God.

we've got all kind of laws about trailer down here, but near the coast, no one pays them any mind, including law enforcement. I can't say about how it gets further inland, but near the coast, they know trailer brakes are dangerous( I've had them lock up while towing at speed) and shouldn't be used to make up for towing with too small of a vehicle. Most of the trailer shops down here won't even put brakes back on your trailer, even if you want them too. If they do, they make sure you understand you have no warranty on their operation and they are not liable for any damage the brakes may cause.
