I read his post. Does he actually read what he posts or refers to? 1/2 the people or more in the states do not know most of the trailer laws. Show me where he's wrong, then. |

I dropped into a provincial government official highway weigh station on the way home from picking up that boat from the Legend dealer June 2012.
Weight was for boat, trailer, 60 hp outboard and about half a tank of gas. I went on the scale with rig and RAV4... Then unhooked rig and weighed RAV4 separately. Difference is the towed weight. |

He's already stated the weight of his rig and he doesn't need trailer brakes. True. But I hear others say they just ignore the brakes not working on the trailer. As salt water is bad and they will go bad again. Towing with a Rav is marginal at best. 5000# towing? Hate to stop the muther in a panic stop with 3000# behind. 1900# seems light for an 18' boat, trailer, unless a really lightweight trailer, and a 60 hp motor. My tandem axle EZLoader trailer weighed 1100# by itself. |
