Re: single or tandem axel trailer
I have a 23 ft aluminum boat (probably lighter than yours. My choice of a trailer was tandem axle. Here is why: Tracks better, backs much better (predictable, doesn't veer as much), but won't turn as quickly (a good/bad issue), and of most importance... if you get a flat, the rig is a lot more stable and oyu have better time to react. Additionally, a single axle trailer will have bigger wheels vice an equitable tandem and may require more water to launch. Also rollers allow a shallower launch than bunk boards. On brake: more is better. Get brakes on all wheels! This will ensure compliance in any state (rules vary greatly). I have tiedown stainless surge discs that I will be adding an electric over hydraulic control to go with a standard brake controller. More stoppage is always better. Your truck is fine for the pull, but you should have a good system on the trailer to help you stop. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
