Want some advice re: trailer for 1900.
Total transporting weight ( boat, 200 hpdi, T8 kicker, fuel, batteries, gear and 10% extras ) should come in around 3100 lbs. I am going galvanized for sure, but wondering if I needed to go tandem vs single axle. Any other recommendations ie Make?

I've had single axle roller trailers on four previous smaller,lighter boats. All have worked fine. I've since went with a new Eagle galvanized tandem on my new 2025. Single set of brakes. There is a big differance with the tandem trailer to me as to how it tracks behind the vehicle towing it in my mind.

I think the only thing that I would reconsider is going with dual axle brakes instead of single. I know with some people parking is a concern with dual axle. You can't push it around as easy once it is off the truck.

I still like the dual axle.

Just my opinion. Best of luck!

It all depends on what you want.

The dual axles ride MUCh better on the higway but lacks the mobility in your driveway. The dual will be longer than the single but overall would be a nice fit on your new Lund.

The brand I selected was Prestige. Very similiar if not nicer than the Eagle.

Determime your need is my advice.

I just got my first boat on a tandom trailer and can now highly recommend if you can get a single axle big enough get it. I tried to put my boat in the corner of the shop and I never relized how hard it was to turn a tandom trailer, pulls way better on the highway but if you have to move it around by hand its a PITA.

I have a 1999 1900 ProV SE.

If you plan to trailer more than 1000 miles per year, I'd recommend the dual axle. Less than 1000 miles per year, I recommend the single.

I just bought a new rig with a tandem axle trailer and while it rides like a dream, I found that it was a real pain to jockey it into my garage.

A couple of things that helped tremendously were a front mounted receiver hitch and a large sheet of heavy plastic; placed right where the tires will be when I park it in the garage. The plastic was really the key because now the tires slip and I don’t get the feeling that I’m about to permanently bend one of the axles.

I also keep a spray bottle of water handy and just give the plastic a light misting. I’ve also heard that mixing a little soap into the water really helps but so far I haven’t had to try that trick.

FYI - I’d strongly suggest going with trailer that’s rated at least 25% over the maximum weight of your rig.

Personally....I'd be trying to sell you on a Tandem if I was dealing with you.
We don't package them with a single, but our customers haul their 1900's long distances on poor roads at high speeds in our part of the world.

I have a ProV 1900 and use a tandem trailer. I drive from ST. Louis to LOTW each summer and from St. Louis to Marco Island, Florida each winter. Lots of miles. Don't try to save bucks on a trailer. It is the most important part of safety in trailing a boat. Make sure you have surge brakes installed also.
