I have a tandem axle for a 3700+ pound 25 foot boat that I would like to pull empty about 500 miles total @ ~70 mph. I am concerned that the the tires may suffer uneven wear from tire hop / bounce with the trailer unloaded which could produce uneven tire wear / cupping.

Anyone had any experience pulling an empty boat trailer under these conditions? Any tire issues as a result?

I've done it. Don't recall any issues.
Shouldn't be a problem if your tires are properly inflated, no dry rot, and keep an eye on the wheel bearings and lug nuts.

Thanks for the info Steve.

If it's a Nordic trailer, don't worry about it...those bastards are heavy enough by themselves...if it's aluminum, I would take it a little easier.

Thanks.

I just put 2 and 2 together. We were the Searay tied up 2 or 3 boats down from you last week at Tablerock. I think it maybe Bob's Flame, Mark's Heat and maybe Brian's Lightning was between us. I recall Nordic was well represented on that side of us.

Yes Jim ...The Rage that was there belongs to Bill (Rage)

Bill it was great to see you guys again last week down at Tablerock

Well I'll be darned. Yes, that was me. Yes, we birds of a feather and all that. Nice to put a face with the name SeaRay Jim. I hope you had nice time. You have a great group of folks there.

Hey Bent we always enjoy getting together with your group. I was only sorry that we could only say down at the lake for a short time while you all were there. It was a last minute deal for us when the delayed parts finally arrived that Saturday and I could then get the engine back together and pull the boat down to the lake. Hopefully you guys will be back again next year.......or maybe sooner.

Think we are all doing LOTO next year....Would be great to have you join us
