Thanks everyone for the great advice! Does anyone have a particular trailer brand and model in mind? I just want to make sure the one I purchase fits like a glove. I'm hoping to find a single axle with no brakes but it seems and trailers in my weight range all have brakes--I can deal with (I actually own a brake repair business). I was looking at the Venture VB-3100 galvanized mode single axlel with brakes (standard). Think this would be a good fit?

Thanks again for all the help!

Default Decided on a trailer

It's a new 2018 Load Rite aluminum, single torsion bar axle, no brakes, LED lights, PVC guides and and a target bunch up front--model #5S-AC203100102T from a dealer in Deltaville, VA $2,250 out the door. Will get it in about 2 weeks. Thanks for all the feed back hope she fits right and tight. Will forward another pic with her loaded on it soon.

I have a 1987 V20 and have used a load-rite single axle roller trailer for years. Much like you, I take a trip to the ramp in the spring and one in the fall. No problems. I tow with a Chevy 4WD truck. I did go from a dual to the single axle but the single has 14 inch wheels.

Thanks GB, do you know the weight rating of your trailer?

Cool

As said before, there's nothing wrong with a single axle trailer. Heck, I used to tow from NJ to Fla (1600 miles) twice a year on a single axle ShorLand'r . As long as the trailer is rated for the weight of your boat and equipment there's no real issues.

Got it! Was just wondering if a 3300 series trailer was a good choice as one has suggested suggested (w/15" wheels). I'll quit beating this dead horse now and thanks everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
