I just bought my first toon. A 1974 Harris FloteBote 240a. No motor, nor much superstructure. I notice Harris specs show weight at 1900 pounds. Not sure with or without Motor (?) I DO have a single axle and the tires are quite small, compared to my larger 14" tires on utility trailers. Feels a little shaky to me with a single axle on a 1900 pound boat.
Not knowing better, I just drove about 150 miles towing this on the expressway at 55mph. Intuitively I did think about going around turns and all was well. However getting home and getting on the internet wondering what to do? Add another axle? (I can weld and fabricate) I want to pull it about 20 miles to a small lake I own, where it may stay, though I was thinking about making some fishing trips.
Other than being careful on turns, what else should I do
