If you’re going tandem axle anyway and have already considered up to a 16’ trailer, why not just put the canoo inside the trailer?
Even a 6x12 or 7x12 trailer with any sort of vee nose will fit the canoe.
Just a suggestion.
Another suggestion, shop around. The further east you go, the cheaper trailers (and most other things) are.
Since moving up to Wa$hington, I find myself making purchases back east more than the PNW.
Also don’t necessarily discount the “lesser” or regional brands vs the big names.
Not sure how far west they distribute, but if buying new, I was impressed with the quality of a “low end” trailer from MTI. Middlebury Trailers.
You guys have no state income tax, that's gotta count for something doesn't it?
Add for the WA guys w easy access to OR - no sales tax! win-win!!!
ID charges 6% on FOOD, smh........... and the tax on food is higher than the income tax rate......
The only reason for me to consider anything longer than 10' is to stuff the canoe in there. In my minds eye I see this as being a short in length, wide, and tall in height trailer, good ground clearance, extended tongue, w brakes and some LT tires.
I guess I need to find out what my cargo weighs in total to determine whether to get the SA or DA. Unfortunately I'm about 100 miles from the nearest CAT scale.
