[Rhodes22-list] Single or double axle?

[Frank Tugwell]

I am in the process of deciding on a trailer and would appreciate any advice
you may have.  Stan, as he often does, says "ask the list."
(I am going down to Edenton to get my boat this April).   An important issue
is weight.  I have a Toyota Highlander that is rigged to tow 5000 lbs.
Stan estimates that the boat will weight 3,200.  Triad says the single axle
weighs 960 (without spare tire) and the double axle
weighs 1,150 lbs, again, without spare tire.  I plan to get the spare tire
option, which would add about 70 lbs.. So I figure I could handle either
single or double
axle if I am careful about things like water in the tank and stuff stowed
aboard.   Stan has only used the single axle and, as you
know, General Boats pulls a boat all over the place to boat for shows.  He
says the only time he had trouble is when he had
a flat tire with the single axel.  Advice or suggestions appreciated.
