[Rhodes22-list] rhodes 22 trailer

[Arthur H. Czerwonky]

Rob, Richard,

Looking back three years, I was a conservative critter and opted for a tandem axle contemplating a blown tire on a cold rain-swept night on I-95.  In retrospect, with a good pair of 15" tires on a single axle, the trailer is quite easier to handle.  I'd also suggest that Stan's galvenized Triad, while a mite expensive, is the simplest and best choice.  It's shape conforms precisely to the hull shape and boat placement that you will want.

You might ask Stan on the weight, I have been told closer to 900-1,000 pounds.  For sure, only get a galvenized with brakes, even if you must wait, it is worth it now or when you sell.

R,

Art
