[rbr2328]

Lets see pics of your trailers with tandem axles dual wheels. Thinking of building one because I am tired of all of the wear from triple axles.

You must haul some bigazz boats with that trailer.

I have always liked the Tandem Dually trailers also.

However I have heard you can't dunk them in the water?

And due to the design the boat sits higher which also creates more of a problem putting the boat deep enough at the launch?


I would like to see pictures also


Thanks

Dexter Axle may have some information, wheel seals, suspension, brakes, bearings and etc.

We used oil bath seals and packed grease.

The other design consideration may include gooseneck vs. bumper pull. The gooseneck allows for locating axles farther to the rear. Rear mounted location sets the trailer deeper in the water than a bumper pull w/same deck height.

The gooseneck frame area combined with setting the suspension aft will typically create a loaded ball weight of 3,500# +/-. That tongue weight vs. 750# for a bumper pull offers new tow vehicle options. A two wheel drive one ton should handle the gooseneck and a four wheel drive is required for the bumper pull. The safety factor, ride, handling, traction and loading are reasons to consider when comparing gooseneck vs. bumper pull. The down side is price.

I have my 47 Fountain on a Myco tandem dually with 19.5 Alcoas and Goodyear Commercial tires. I don't have pictures but it is a great trailer. It tows beautifully. They are solid axles so it does sit higher. It hasn't been a problem at the launches but it is a high rig (about 13 ft.). I have oil bath Dexters and as long as the seals are well maintained wet launches are fine. I have had to drain the axles a few times when I dunked it with failing seals. As long a you drain the water out within a few days, it's fine. If it sits longer it could be a big problem

Gooseneck?

13ft wow what's the bridge height you must be right at it. You would have to drop down to 17" wheels with a cat.
