Bob.  How does your trailer compare to the triad?    

All.   Thanks for the thoughts.    I’m very glad I didn’t lose /Lark/.    My
Explorer also looks unscathed.  Hopefully there’s no hidden damage to the
factory hitch.    

I’m close to GVWR with boat, passenger, food and baggage.   Tow capacity is
also close to boat, anchors, motor, fuel and trailer weight.   I’m not sure
I want the weight of an extra axle with my current tow vehicle.   On the
other hand, perfect boat balance is essential.   Loss of a tire at speed
could be ugly and top speed is limited to 63 mph depending on boat placement
and semi turbulence.   Barring accident, the replacement trailer will far
outlast my tow vehicle.  I was curious if anybody has towed both trailer
versions with the same vehicle to compare how the rig behaves.   
Alex
