Re: Too Much Trailer?

I'll add that my tandem ezloader that I had my 6000 lb carver on also had the same bow but I bought the trailer with a crushed boat on it.. a tree had fallen on the boat that was big enough to smash the 24' cuddy to pieces. PO said the tree was nearly 2 feet thick... IT probably weighed several times what the trailer was rated for on top of the boat weight.

When I lift the boat off, it straightens right out. I think the 5.7 right in the back arches, maybe sags is a better word, the trailer over the axle and when I launch the boat it returns to normal. Thats why I don't have the boat on the trailer while trying to sell it.....

If that is the case then i would get that trailer that you are looking at. That 7000lb trailer won't be to much. Like said above, that load shoudn't be enough to cause that condition. Just make shure you can move the winch stand enough so you can get the boat to fit properly.
