I have a Manning tri axle aluminum for my 340 Vyper. Had it built almost 2 years ago. Had it over built with 7000 lb. Axles and 16 in. 8 lug wheels and E load range tires. EOH brakes and it tows and stops awesome. I went with alum. for weight savings and maint. I had a painted steel last time and got tired of touch up, rock chips, and waxing it. Love my aluminum trailer and get lots of compliments on it too. Ron is great to deal with. Good luck.

Same here with a blown tire, but not doing 75. Had no idea it was gone till pulled into the gas station to fuel the boat and notice most of one tire was gone. Lots of redundancy with tripps.... engines and trailers.

If you get rear ended it probably won't help.As stated if you get tapped it will.I did not get one because I did not want one and never liked how they looked.Plus its one more thing you have to do at the ramp,just my opinion though

One thing I would consider doing is adding the white led light at each crossrail (one each side) underneath the boat. It makes it easier to see to load the boat at night and also draws attention so that hopefully no one will run over you.

I like the tripple,...........You can still tie and axle up in a worst case situation with tire blow outs on long trips.
I have seen the spare used,........and later to see another tire blow. You never know your location or tire availability at that time.
Also had Ron Manning put brakes on the third axle, normalyy just does two axle's,..........cheap insurance.
You can tow anything,..but can you stop it fast and safe?
Also had him paint the trailer with Imron VS. Standard paint.
Lastly,.....to build another one I would go with the electric over hydraulic brakes.
Ron is a great guy to work with.
