[Rhodes22-list] Replacement trailer

[Mike Riter]

Sorry to hear about your trailer Alex. Glad you weren’t hurt.
I live in GA and trailer my boat all over from lake Winnebago in WI to the
FL keys. I have a single axle Triad. And while I really like Triad
trailers, I really wish mine was a tandem axle. If you’re just using it to
launch and recover once a season, then the single axle makes sense. But
over the road for any distance or frequency, tandem is the way to go.
They’re just more stable. Wear and tear is spread out over all four tires
so they tend to last longer especially if you can keep them out of the sun.
