    Published weight for an 04 SAN is "approximately 3,190 lbs." Approximately must be "dry." Add fuel, equipment, etc easily over 3,500 lbs.

    Invoice for the proposed trailer for the boat:

    "Tandem axle trailer, 21'T Super AIr V-Dr GVWR: 5720#......'Brakes, hydraulic surge: DRUM ON ONE (1) 3500# Axle."
    Every published capacity/limit has a "Factor of Safety" along with it. If every axle were failing when it's weight reached that exact limit, we'd be seeing more boats lying on concrete.

      Sorry for getting off the original topic and letting this slip back into what most of those who own a CC already know if you actually have to use them: THEY STINK!

      I own two houses and the boat travels over three hundred miles a weekend. Should not have to choose between a single axle (numerous reasons against) or a tandem that sits so low the front cross member and prop guard hit. I do not live in Florida or the High Plains!

      And one more rant: THIS IS NOT A PRICE POINT ISSUE! Anyone who would suggest a single axle trailer is becomming more popular on a 3,500 lb boats because it is cheaper, in all due respect, is an idiot.

      These are $50,000 plus luxury items--price point was left at Bayliners doorstep.
