Got any pics? So you in SC?

If possible mount a hitch ball on your front bumper. Some boat yards mount them on pickup trucks to get a boat in some tight places!

my NEW Load Rite 3100 w/rollers and no brakes was $2K total in 2014.

If you make short trips like you say, it is perfect.

You can save a couple hundred with bunks.

Thanks and yea I thought of that too but I want to keep it simple and not have to switch the tow vehicle around every time. But I have seen hitches on the front bet that works great.

yes, near Charleston> I didn't like the set up with the rollers and was going to change it over to bunks, but found the tandem. I think the power winch still works(not sure)





BYW, before you have to ask, it was Georgia trailer fisrt, then a SC trailer, so no title as Georfia, nor SC title light boat trailers

NP on no title.
I'm guessing that trailer sets the boat up 6" or so higher than a bunk trailer with a 'bent' axle?? Would you agree? I have a 19 searay with a trailer like that it does sit noticeably higher. PM me ur address.... I'll think it over. I'm in Michigan but heading to FL in a three weeks then be on my way back early Jan.
1 78" ball or 2" Bearings? tires? Lights? okay? Thx

2 Inch ball, I'm guessing at 1 1/16-1 3/8 tapered bearing set(most common size). I don't know exactly where the trailer will be in the next couple weeks due to me moving out of my shop, but just map quest to Goose Creek, SC 29445. If you drive this far, I'll make sure the lights work, Those rollers do set the boat high, I was going to remove the rollers, save the pivot brackets, and install 2X6 carpeted bunks. That should lower the boat by a few inches. I've done this swap before on similar trailers with good luck. The tires hold air and look decent, but I'd replace them with new if I were taking long trips with a boat on it.

NOT to steal Spares thunder. Just to compliment it. Single axle trailers are very capable of towing our V's around. I used to make the trip from my aunts home in Fla to my house in NJ twice a year (1600 miles each way) with the V sitting on a single axle trailer. You just need one that's big enough to handle the length and the weight of a V. Yes, I got a dual axle trailer because I like the extra set of axles and yes, my single axle is for sale locally also, but I'm pretty sure I have a buyer for it already. In all cases, my point was that a single axle going 5 miles won't even break a sweat. Just make sure you have a spare tire and a spare set of bearings (recommended for ANY trailer) and you'll be fine.

Mine has a single axle, i does just fine. I pulled it from Deleware back to Ohio without and issue and i pull it all over the place here.
