    Single axle or dual for a 08 ZX200?

    If you trailer very far or often the dual axle is better hands down. Tows with better control and better load distribution.

    Dual axel is the only way to go.

    Go with dual. I was heading back from a tournament last week, when the traffic in front of me locked up going 70 mph . I locked up and my boat was all over the road, I was able to regain control quick and made it through safe . I am sure the tandem axle was a big reason I was able to keep control of the rig. I will never complain about paying more at tolls after that

    If I was trailering a canoe I would have a dual. Its just safer. Never will own a single axle boat trailer again,

    If it doesn't have two axles I won't own it.

    Amen to shortcast..I owned duals till I retired...with 10 lakes within 52 miles since 2004...I saved the expense and care by going to the single axle....
    a good rule of thumb would be if you often travel over 60-75 minutes one way...
    much smarter to go dual for sure...
    (and keep that air up with attention to bearings also)

    The ZX 200 is only 150 lbs or so lighter than a ZX 250 and I don't think anyone would consider a single axle trailer for a ZX 250. I would not have bought my ZX 200 if it had a single axle trailer.
