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.

V20's are right at the edge of needing a tandem, You can run a single with no issue, but a tandem is insurance. At the time I bought my V, I was using a 96 Jeep Cherokee as my tow rig. I didn't like the idea of having a blow out on the V towing with that small of a vehicle, even though the jeep was rated for far more towing than the V weighed. Now I have a 1 ton diesel van, a diesel dually, and choice of two Suburbans(one still for sale) to tow with. I could tow it even if I didn't have any tires on it now

Tsubaki has a hitch on the front of his cherokee and I think runs a single axle as well.
Got me an Airtug. https://youtu.be/M_7UNn3VPK4
