I'm looking for opinions and advice. Thanks in advance. I have a '91 Rinker 206 on a tandem axle trailmaster trailer. I bought this rig late last summer. Fully loaded with fuel and gear, I think the package is around 3800-4000#. I want to add brakes so that it is safer and legal. Before I go further, I'm not going to use electric over hydraulic so please don't recommend them. I just can't afford to buy them. So, my choice (I think) is either surge hydraulic or electric with a proportioning controller. A few other factors: the trailer has an A-frame tongue, I only boat in fresh water, costs =< $700, and I have 2 vehicles I could tow with. Oh, and the axles do have the brake mounting plates and I think they are 3500# axles. I'm not looking to start a debate but I'd like some experienced opinions and advice. Thanks again. Kevin.
