Cheers,

Cheers,

Im towing a Vipermax 6.5 with a single axle Dixon Bate and it tows really well and is probably a bit heavier as it goes. A lot will depend on the trailer but I can highly recommend DB trailers.

R2B61 is the model of trailer.

I guess the other point is depends on what you are towing it with.

My 6.5m Scorpion with 150 Opti is on a single axle Indespension trailer. Tows fine behind a Discovery.

7 Metre Humber with Suzi250... no problem on single axle...with the right tow vehicle.

1100 kg capacity would seem a little on the low side, what does your trailer + rib weigh when fuelled and loaded

1,091 with a full tank of fuel so if I plan to get an aux it will have to in the boot when towing ;-)

So is that calculated or weighbridge

You've really got to get some help with this fixation with other peoples boat weights and trailer capacities

I recon you'll be fine using a single axle trailer, go for the largest capacity you can which will probably be an 1800kg Gross one.

I have a De Graaff trailer and have have no problems with it what so ever. I think they are priced pretty well too. Mine cost a fraction over £2000 with all the extras.

A 6.5 destroyer will be fine on a single axle trailer, as others have said, it will depend on what you tow with?
I would go 1500kg minimum, We use SBS and get on well with them and they are offering keen prices at the moment.
