[Rhodes22-list] trailer

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Trailer configurations, like a boats, are personal decisions based on each  
individuals needs. I have a single axle trailer and prefer it for several  
reasons. I have found from experience that a single axle trailer turns 
better  when you are backing up. Replacing four tires is expensive. I would 
definitely  get a galvanized trailer with surge brakes. With the brakes I would 
get the  optional brake rinsing kit which allows fresh water to clean the 
salt water off  the brake components.
Most people go for the dual axle for safety reasons. I have found that a  
flat tire at highway speeds is a real treat whether you have dual axles or 
just  a single. Keep the tires full of air and check them at every stop and 
you should  not have problems. I always feel the tires for heat and check the 
rims as well.  A dragging brake will heat a rim up quickly.

I have  had myrhodes 22 for five seasons in a water slip and on the hard
during the  off season.  I live in the city and have no opportunity for
trailer  storage however I am considering storing my boat this winter on a
trailer  and in a friends barn during the off season.  A trailer would  also
offer me the opportunity to travel to michgan and otehr lcoations  including
long island in the next few seasons.  What advice do owners  have regarding
trailers?  Sounds like triad is the prefered option  including General Boats
customization.  Dual axel or single?  New  or used?  What is the cost?  
trailering versus sliip seems like  a whole new world to enter.
