single axel trailer

Well I'm gonna have to shake the magic 8 ball, slips are going fast and trailering this year is really giving me bad vibes. Also with a slip in RI family W/ a dock in Falmouth, and no cape traffic a slip is looking good? :o

I have a old Calkins and it has been a great trailer!! I had to make my on roller brackets as they are now out of biss.
I can get at least 2 or 3 years more out of it if i try! But I trailer from yarmouth to Falmouth everyday in the months of June and July so it gets lots of use.

I changed the axle and springs aabout 3 years ago. they are 3500# and the spring s are mono, no leafs to squeek!

Here's one for ya it might sound dumb but 2500 lb rims does this mean a 4000lb boat/trailer combo has equal weight distrabution of 2000lb per tire and the 2500lb rim would be o.k.?

never heard it put that way??
But it is the two sides combined, Like if tires say they will hole 1500# then you have two you would carry 3000# total.
My springs are they same I belive. I have never heard of the rim's being part of it unless they ment the tires?
