[Rhodes22-list] Replacement trailer

[cjlowe at sssnet.com]

Sorry to hear, but glad you didn't have the boat on. I went with the two
axles. I've had it for 16 years, love it. Time for brakes and tires, but
the only up keep was grease the bearings every trip. Pros of two axles....
you can walk around the boat on the trailer without the tow vehicle, with
out supporting the back end... two more wheels braking... half the weight
on each wheel... is a whole lot more forgiving if you don't get the boat
all the way forward... better roadhandeling and tracking.
