2007 champion 200

eyeballing a used 200, it has a single axle trailer. I do a bit of traveling with my boat, anything to be concerned about with that large of a boat on a single axle?

Thanks

I would see no worries. Load range on the typical trailer tire is around 1900 pounds each. The boat/trailer/outboard etc. will be below that.

Advantages for one axle - It can be maneuvered by hand if you have to jockey it around to get it in the garage like I do my boat. Only two tires and bearings to worry about replacing. In my mind, if you are worried about the single, just replace the tires and service the bearings twice as often as you would a double axle, works out to the same expense.

Double axle advantages - (I don't have a lot of experience with these) Tows better in general and doesn't seem to be as bad if you blow a tire. Others with doubles and more experience will chime in about advantages.

My rig is a few hundred pounds lighter than the one you are looking at, and I tow it several hundred miles several times a year over mountain passess, through high desert, and have had no issues with my single axle trailer.

Good luck getting the ChamP, if you haven't ridden/driven a ChamP, you will be pleasantly suprised

My 198 sits on a single axle. Been all over the midwest, never any issues.

My 202 sits on a single, and have had no problems.
It is easy to move around in he garage
