Will this trailer work?
Do you guys think this would haul my V20? Looks like a good deal. Do I have to have a dual axle? Tsubaki, dont you use a single axle.
HELP my trailer is seconds away from death and I gotta make a move.  http://savannah.craigslist.org/boa/1317918985.html

Don't buy that one; you need one that can hold more weight. Trailer doesn't necessarily need to be dual axle, but it will need to handle close to 5000 pounds.

I don't know if you are right about that BGA....I dont think you will find any single axle trailer rated for 5000 lbs as you would be over the tire limits I think....I have a single axle and its rated for 3600 lbs.... its the highest capacity load rite makes in a single axle. That being said though I believe there are way way more V-20's on tandem axle trailers because most people/dealers didnt feel comfortable loading a single axle trailer to its highest rated capacity.... I always hold my breath when I hit a bump and look in the rear view mirror and see those tires getting POUNDED...

Wilson, my bad on the single axle capacity; you may be right about that.
That being the case, I would think it's risky then to tow a V with a single axle trailer. In an older post, MJ mentioned that his V20 weighed in at close to 5000 pounds after adding in all the extras like fuel, coolers, etc. http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...ht=hull+weight

BGA is RIGHT...only thing I would add is if you do some serious towing, maybe bump that weight up to 6,000 lbs...my whole rig is 4700 lbs and this is a place a little overkill can literally be a lifesaver...

Thanks guys, I need a trailer for around a grand and thought this might fly. I'd rather feel confident pulling it up and down 95.

BGA was right, I just sold a single axle trailer that had a 6 lug 5000 lb axle under it with 6000 lb disc brakes for a 22 ft boat.

I need to do more research to be 100% sure but when I was researching tires i did not see a tire that could take 2500 lbs.

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.
