This means the combined weight of the boat, trailer and all equipment being towed. LAWS- The state of Florida requires brakes on all axles of any trailer with a G.V.W.R. Tandem axles are safer in case of tire failure. Single axle trailers are lighter in weight and easier to maneuver but have less weight carrying capacity.

Remember, when you are towing with a van or camper you don’t want the pulpit over the coupler on the trailer.
LENGTH- The length of the boat is from the pulpit (if you have one) to the engine mount. Trailers are manufactured to carry a predetermined weight and should not be overloaded.
