Boat trailer

« on: January 26, 2012, 09:40:40 am »

I really did not know where to but this topic. My boat trailer is 16 years old and rusting. I have had it welded twice and do not want to just get throwing money away. I can't find a 19 foot trailer but I have found a 20 foot and an 18 foot both used but only 3 years old. My question is could one of these trailers work and if so which one would be better?

Thanks

what brand is your boat? do you need tandem or single axle? I would think the trailer for the 18' boat would be single axle, and the 20' boat trailer would be tandem. Tandem is better for heavy hulls. single is better for moving around by hand(in garage/shop). really depends on what hull wieght you have.

I have a 1995 Nitro 190TF. Mine is a single axle right not and both I have seen are single axle.
I was just wondering which trailer size would be better for a 19 ft boat since I can't find a 19 ft trailer

If you have no constraints like 'must fit in garage' or anything else, go with the bigger trailer. It also makes it easier to find the right point where your boat must set. You want to make sure your weight is distributed well over the axle, and you want to make sure your tongue weight is reasonable.
