Default Tandem Dually vs Triple Axle Trailers

I am in the market for a trailer for my 12 meter fountain and like the looks and turning of the tandem dually trailers. Does anyone have experience with a Tandem Dually axle with reference to dipping them. Someone told me to unload the boat you need to submerge them further and therfore are more difficult to load the boat. Any help is appreciated.

The boats sits higher on a tandem dually in general because of the solid axle. It does need to be dunked in considerably deeper to float the boat. I have launched my 47 fountain many times on a variety of ramps and only once have had a probem getting the boat on or off: however, I have had to power on and off several times.
Otherwise the tandem dually is a superb trailer. It tracks, tows, and rides great.

Thanks for the input, now all I have to do is decide which trailer mfg to use. Sounds like the tandem is the way to go.
Thanks
