trailers
 
Hi,
My dad and i just bought a 17' pride fibreglass speed boat and a 1990
90 hp johnson (great motor). but we have a problem, we had a 15' boat
trailer and the boat won't safely fit on it, now i am looking for a
second hand trailer, can anybody give me any advice on the matter as i
am a bit confused with breaks and tandem axles and so on.

Thanks for the help :-)

If length is the only problem, and the trailer is worth keeping, maybe
extend the tongue (say by welding a piece in).

A 17 ft boat does not need a tandem trailer or breaks unless it is an extra
heavy boat.
