Re: trailer vs boat

The length of the trailer, amount of weight it is set for, and depending on what type of boat you have depends on a single vs. tandem axle trailer. If your boat is 3500 pounds with all gear, full tank of gas, and what not you will need a trailer set for 4000 lbs. There is a lot of different things that you have to look at with this. It also depends on how much weight your tires can hold as well. Give some details about the boat and or pictures and we can help out even more that way.

Re: trailer vs boat

The trailer should have a plate with the weight rating on it. A measuring tape will let you find out if its length and width are adequate.
