Just bolt a PVC tube filled with sand in front of each axle. The only floating Aluminum trailer I have had was a POS Rocket.

I had a triple loadamster 10500# and it never floated. It did have steel wheels though. It was definately alot lighter towing than the steel trailer I used before.

Mine does not float.

his was a tripple axle btw.......no idea what make

The alum. tandem axle ACE under my 288 does not float.... It also has alum. wheels..

My Rocket trailer floated. I U-bolted a couple of iron 50lb dumbbells on the inside of the I-beams and this worked fine. I tried the PVC route first, and it did not work.

Rocket has a terrible construction habit of cutting the I-beams off right behind the rear axle. This makes for a weaker trailer, less support for your boat, and a lighter trailer, which lets them get away with lighter/cheaper axles making their trailers cheaper to resell. I have seen a few from Rocket that are like this, but that used to me their main mantra. Several other trailers I have seen are like this as well.

You have to look at the buoyant items vs. the weighted items on the trailer. Obviously a triple axle trailer, with 75 lbs ore more of air in 6 tires, with a lot of wood support is going to be buoyant.

They don't all float. Ones that float don't float all the time. It depends on the steepness of the ramp, and the make-up of the water. Salt water is more buoyant than fresh water.

I have a 3 axle aluminum trailer and it always floats, it's a real pain when loading/unloading by yourself, which is about 90% of the time for me. Didn't have this problem with the original 3 axle Continental steel trailer.

My aluminum South Florida trailer has two axles, aluminum wheels and tows my PowerPlay great. It has never floated or given me any other type of problem. The frame rails do extend approx. 4ft past the rear axle.

Aaron, give me a ring if you want, and I will walk you through my fix on my trailer. It was very easy.

my double axle loadrite trailer floated until i put two pieces of angle iron under the bunks now it sinks
