What trailer??

[bigbotes]

I have a 96' Osprey 19'6". All stock except for a T top. Has a Johnson 130. I bought the boat with a POS single axle trailer that barely fit the boat. Bought a used double axle and the boat sits fine but I will have to put a good amount of work into it pretty soon i.e. springs and all the nuts and bolts. I'm in the market (sort of) for a NEW trailer. What do I go with? I have seen pics of the same boat on both trailers. I know a double axle will tow better but I don't even go 10 miles round trip to the ramp. The boat weighs about 2800 lbs DRY. Thanks for the input.

Rolls-Axle.  I will be replacing the axles on my Continental trailer with them soon.  They are forever axles and they make a great trailer too.

When I bought my 200 Osprey (also a 1996), it came with a single axle galvanized trailer.  I mostly towed local, but also took it to the Keys once (~7 hour trip IIRC).  I had no problems at all with the trailer.  But if I was buying a new trailer, I would probably lean towards a dual axle.

If all goes as planned, I will be picking up a new trailer for my flatback this Friday.   I went with an Owens and Sons (Slide On) trailer based on feedback from fellow member Aaron (Aswaff400), as well as their great reputation on other forums.  I initially started off looking for a used trailer, but based on the prices of decent used trailers, plus what I figured I would need to do to get it set up perfectly to my hull, I decided that spending a little more for a quality trailer would be my best route.

Another thing that confuses me is what should the actual length of the trailer be??
