Single axle is fine.....

Don't mean to beat a dead horse, but in 1999 I bought my 22 C-Dory from Mark Toland. I said I would like a tandem axle. He pointed out to me that the single axle trailer was built heavier than the tandem. The frame and tires were stouter. Trailer rating tell the story. Not the axle number.
I would guess I pulled that c-dory with that single axle trailer as far as any cd owner. From Mt. it is 3000 mile to Florida, 2500 to our spot in Mexico. 3000 to Alaska. I must have towed at least 100,000 miles. Had flats and had a bearing go out. Towed with 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks. I carried two spare tires and an extra thimble for Mexico. C-Dorys are light and easy to tow. In my opinion duel axles are an overkill on CD 22's. 25 ft CD's and Rangers require a tandem. Approaching 10,000 lbs, a pickup or large SUV wouldn't not hurt.
Just my humble opinion, different strokes for different folks. 8)
