problem- I've been wearing out the inside of my tires. changed bearings, no difference. decided i need new axle, so i weighed my boat. it is a '96 lund tyee 1850, with a 4.3lx I/O. it rides on a shoreland'r single axle trailer with a 3500# axle. looked at weights of my boat and figured it was right around 3500 pounds with trailer.
I finaaly was able to weigh the boat and trailer today, and hooked to the truck itwas exactly 3500#. Assuming i add 250 lbs of tongue weight, and 150lbs of fuel, and another 200 lbs of gear, i decide my axle is too small.
am i still too light to use a 5200# axle?, or is there anything in between i can use?
any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
