b"TRAILERS SINGLE OR MULTIPLE AXLESTrailers with one axle are best for smaller boats. Typically, a single-axle trailer can accommodate a boat up to 6m with a max weight of 2 tonnes. They cost less, require less maintenance and are easier to move around manually than tandem-axle models. Trailers with two or more axles are for larger boats (over 6m). They track better on the road, are generally lower and prove safer when travelling. Brakes make it easier to keep a trailer under control, and many experts recommend that multi-axle trailers have brakes on all axles. Brakes are a legal requirement in New Zealand if your trailerable weight is over 2500kg. Surge brakes, or override brakes, have proven reliable up to 2500 kg.REAL STEELBoat trailers come in two types of material, galvanised steel or aluminium.
