The single axle trailer pulls fine. The baots are light and easy to pull just watch for high winds.

The the trailer brakes are pretty straight forward and easy to replace. A do it yourself job. Most have surge brakes so be sure it works. I had Aquarius Boat works in Moss Landing replace my pads and when they did they cut of the old mounts and inserted adjusatable screw mounts. I think they are simply the same adjustable pads and stands the yards use adapted the the trailer. Works slick and easy to adjust how the boat sets on the trailer. Also easy to drop on pad at a time for sanding. This arrangement does need a stop on the turning screw as it will back off when towing. I am using rope right now but may replace with a set screw.

>>Does anyone have any recommendations for a SF Bay Area shop who can fix up my E27 trailer? It needs a good once over; new pads, new keel support, probably new brakes, maybe new wheels/bearings.

>>Also, is it reasonable to use the stock one-axle trailers to tow these things around on the highway (assuming the trailer is in good shape), or is that just asking for trouble?
