blue, either way, I wouldn't tow a V for an extended trip unless it was on a dual axle trailer.
I'm using mine for trips to the boat ramp that are as little as 396 FEET or as long as 5 miles.

A single will work but dual is preffered. Just make sure it'll hold the weight if you go single. Overkill is a good thing when talking trailers.

Lets see...
Boat 1920lbs
Motor 500lbs
Fuel 375lbs
Your big *** (just kidding)
Already we up to 2795lbs, nothing loaded in the boat (batteries, coolers, fishing stuff, don't forget the beer) and not taking into consideration the weight of the trailer.

I'll be looking for a dual axle,,,,,mine works fine slow and easy but the leaf springs are breaking and everything makes a whole lotta noise. For now I can make it to the neighborhood ramp so that's good.

If I try and kill it it will probably last for ever,,,,as soon as I pull it on the highway she will crack.

Im sure it will cost more to fix it than it's worth.

it's all good lol those tires used on mobile homes are rated at 3450 lbs each that's crazy huh, you just have to buy 6 and 8 ply trailer tires. that trailer i had was 15" wheels with 8 ply tires rated at 2970 lbs each.

I looked for a good used dual axle trailer for a long time, the ones I found for a good price were POS's and the good ones were priced like new ones, so I just bit the bullet and got a last years model new one.

I would definatley recommend 4 wheels, cause when you have a blow out on 95 with a single axle, its not going to be pretty.
