Forgot to mention, be certain to consider the off tracking of the second trailer. Depending upon your routes, it could be an issue.
Generally speaking there is so much overhang from the 5ers axles that the tail swing on the fiver will cause the second trailer to track about the same as the 5ers wheels. How well this happens is dependent on the length of over hang of trailer behind the axles and the length from the hitch ball to the axle(s) on the second trailer. My boat does not track outside of where the rear wheels of my 34' Jayco tracks.

My old uncle double towed with a 24' TT and a 16' fishing boat. The boat trailer tracks were sometimes outside the TT tracks depending steering input around a corner.
My first 5er had more overhang and pulling a 18' 3400 lb bass boat it pretty well tracked the 5er. My next 5er didn't have as much rear overhang and the same boat would track a bit more inside.
