that is a awsum looking ride. there are some good pic's in the trader. it appears to be the true 5/8 runner the XH-?? model.
i called the guy owns a trucking company and while in ca. buying two cats,picked up the flat & the hydro and brought them back.
if everything he said is true, boat is right, but he is asking $21,000
that's a little steep for my salary !

I've heard that triple axle trailers eat tires. Any truth to that?
Pretty boat, BTW.

Multiple axles promote straight-ahead tracking in addition to the extra load carrying capacity achieved with more tires. Any time you turn a multi-axle trailer, you are stressing all the axle and spring mounting points and the wheel bearings. You are also "scrubbing" the tires! Since three axles are stretched over a greater length than two, this "scrubbing" and the other stresses would be intensified if the load per axle remains the same. On balance, the thing would go down the highway straight-as-an-arrow, it looks bitchin, and you'd have six tires and wheel bearing sets each carrying less weight.

I am thinking that 12 turnbuckles should get the job done.
Although, the one in the middle is not looking so hot.
Good looking boat but that is a lot of spank .

I would hate to race a boat that's on that trailer.
Leaning over fenders gets old as they are in the way. You don't notice it until you wrench on a boat that's on a dolly trailer.
Those big ass fenders would be up your ass for sure. You would even have to lean over them to wipe up the bilge in the back. That would suck after awhile.

I think the trailer needs another axle.
