trailer tailored to the boat by the manufacturer, too.

But the manufacturer was (dare I say the word) Baaaaaaleaner, was it
not?

The problem was they were Carlisle tires.

Worst. Tires. Ever.


Say what?
That's what the spare is on my small LoadRite trailer.
The two running tires are Deli??

Don't worry about it. You aren't carrying enough weight for it to be
a problem.

well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

Interesting that this topic came up as I'm preparing to trailer this
weekend. I recently had new tires installed on the trailer after having
a blowout and noticed last night that the weight capacity listed on the
tire was 1760 lbs. I have a 1996 Glastron with a 3.0 volvo penta and a
quick google search lists similar newer models as having a dry weight of
2315lbs w/3.0. Is the tire not rated properly for my capacity ? I do
recall that they are 15" tires. Thanks Larry

Trailer for my next boat.......

1,700,000 pound load...... about 1,000 tires????

Harry, Wayne so far outclasses your 'example' that only one or two here
think you're worthwhile anymore. Eventually they'll get the message also.

Harry, you just don't get it do you?

I've decided to follow *your* example.

Sometimes it seems foolish and childish but it's important that we can
carry on the tradition in case you ever decide to retire or get your
act together.

Tomorrow I'm going to look at some lobster boats and Parkers.
