Thanks Sydwayz! Very helpful... sounds like you've gone through a lot of this.

I didn't realize Manning was closeby (20 minutes from home). I will give them a call. Definitely makes sense to buy axles from a company that gets them by the truckload.

Did most of the 33AT's go triple axle then? I am definitely a fan of tandems due to reduced tire wear. Triples just seem to hate tight turns (or any right turn for that matter).

Most boats at 33 feet or so are on triple axle trailers. But, you can adequately source tandem axles that would handle such a load.

I had tandem myco on my formula 311 and loved it. 6k pound axles with 8 lug hubs. I knew guys with 292s and 303s with triple axle. I would love to get a nice myco steel under my Donzi. Loading is a pita right now. I added to 8 foot 2X6s and that still isn't enough. Adding a Y bow stop as we speak to take the load off that rubber roller, then probably add more bunks in rear to help it seat when I pull it out of the water.

Towed up to Erie Sunday without a problem towed back without a problem boat ran good had a great time ate some good food love it up there. Didn't want to come home and probably waited to long to leave we were chasing a storm back to the launch. Made it back as the wind picked up had to wait out some heavy stuff but it was definitely interesting.

I thought of you when I couldn't figure out how to flip it.

Oh and as for the AC, I bought a new pressure switch and the unit fired up at home, took it to the lake and it ran for about 5 mins then went right back to HPF, pulled the water line near the unit dry as a bone. Motors were to hot to get near the strainer so after about a hour of just hanging out I fired it up again ran out to check water flow, it squirted a few drops and then BAM, water flow AC ran fine all night, must needed to prime the line first.

I buy the inline check valve that prevents the water in the cooling line from reversing through the sea cock when I lift out......lift or trailer. It's cheap, plastic and functional. When I drop in, ac is good to go......stopped all those HPF messages!

I don't even have a T valve just a shut off valve right at the hull. I will probably just run some water down the exit for starters.
