Towing 7000# boat 3.5 hours a couple times a year with Tremor?

I think the only thing you'll need to be concerned with is that your 7,000# boat/trailer is now a heavier mass than your ~6,000# truck. With no brakes on the trailer, stopping (in an aggressive or emergency condition) will result in the trailer pushing the truck around. If the new trailer has brakes, then no worries, but I don't believe they put brakes on any boat trailer, since they get submerged in water....Just another thing to consider.

Most boat trailers have brakes and certainly at this weight they do.

Awesome, thanks for clearing that up! I had no idea, was just assuming they wouldn't because of being submerged in water periodically. I only have a little 16.5 ft. fishing boat maybe 2000# boat and trailer. No brakes on that little thing!

The PB has no issues towing my boat. Tandem axle, trailer brakes, 7500lbs tow boat.

I would like to weigh the tongue weight next time. The sag was non existent.

Of topic, but how long is your season? Water is hard like 6 months out of the year right?
