And the EOH system was just upgraded last year before I had the boat brought back from LOTO. upgraded to disc brakes and all new hubs before the haul out and they had to put a new EOH system to manage the disc brakes. I just can’t remember wtf system it is.

My myco trailer was also built for my boat back when Mark McManus was a sales manager @ Cigarette ....reason I ask is, (I believe) my steel trailer has (3) 3500 lb. axles, seems to be bear minimal for my 35' Mistress. if you account for the boat Approx. weight 8,500 lbs. plus, if full 225 gal. fuel tank = 1,575 lbs....both together that more than trailer capacity. I've trailered this boat from Punta Gorda, Fl. to N.J. with electric brakes, but I'm over edge numbers wise.

How many lugs on your wheels?? What tires size??

would love to get to the level where I could throw the keys to my sons to take the cigarette out on their own. We’re a ways off of that though. 😂

I was trying to quote scippy's post but didn't work.

Either way, from what I've seen, axles rated 3500 and less use 5 lug wheels, 4-6k rated axles use 6 lugs and 7k+ use 8 lugs.
