Alright so I just have one ski, which I bought with a single trailer and then put about/over $400 in new axle/hubs/tires/winch/bunk board hardware, ect ect
I found my trailer pretty frustrating to back, Number one I can't really see it and number two it just seemed like it was all over the place no matter what ways I tried. Some times it's super easy to jack knife and then at other times seems completely unresponsive all together.
I thought I just sucked at backing, (though I can back a 30ft horse trailer just fine)
But I've let 2 other experienced jet ski trailer backers pull my trailer and both have said it's a pain to back my trailer.
I'm wondering if our new set up (being that I went from the mini 8inch rim small fatty tires to the 12" rim taller tires) might have something to do with it?
I was told that getting a double trailer might solve my frustrations, That they are easier to back due to their size. I obviously don't need a double trailer being that I only have one ski but I could always have a welder make a cool box set up for me to store my crap if I had a bigger trailer.
My concern is that wider trailer = wider turns ect so I might be defeating the purpose here. Is having the double trailer going to be more of a pain than it will be a help? any tips?
