Trailer

That's really nice! Is that pain or powdercoat? Looks really good.

I wish I had 16's on mine. I lost the tread on another tire yesterday, so now my fenders on both sides match (grrr). I'm done with Marathons...

It's paint.

Geez, another blown tire, that sucks my friend.
This is what I've learned through experience and a lot of questions.
After 5 years, toss them!

Among other cut backs, like light weight thin wall tubing and thin axles that flex, trailer manufacturers are notoriously under rating the china bomb tires they mount in order to keep prices down and to allow more profit. This trailer weighs 1,800 lbs, and was designed and rated to carry over 10k of boat. 16" tires were an option, and I should now have a 4K weight padding.
Hopefully I won't have a problem.

Go with an E rated tire, and you should be fine.
Look at Good Year Endurance. They just came out. They make an E rated 15" with a 6 year warranty. That should cure your problem.
Bumping up to E rated 16" definitely will...
If I lived closer, we would be breaking out the hammers and bondo..

Geez that thing is diesel! Congrats! Now get a boat on that thing!

YT - Another blowout?

I went back to gasoline since all diesel from 1999. I hope this truck can pull it. I don't have to go far, but a lot of hills..

No, not a blowout, but the tread came off. Bent my frickin fender...
Next week I'll get a new set of Goodyear Endurance's

See now you don't have to fix your trailer as the fenders match.

BB, I forgot to ask. Did you use my launch on Friday? If you did, how did it go getting your boat on the trailer ?

Yes we floated the boat on as the water is really high and you could actually see the trailer.cleaner water. It loaded perfect. Went boating today loaded like crap. I think it's too steep and to uneven as you pull the boat out. Plus the rear of the boat will drift to one side as it's not sitting on the trailer as it comes out of the water. The good launch at the park is much flatter.

I meant "Diesel" like tough, well-built, mean-looking. Not the gas. Slang.

Oh, understood what you meant. Loadmaster builds the absolute best steel trailer money can buy. It's definitely diesel.
I seriously meant that I'm going to order a new Powerstroke in order to pull the whole thing. My gasser GMC was struggling on hills with the trailer empty...

haha. Gotcha.
