[quote=texastuma][quote=diewurst]I plan to take my 21SC places (mostly bigger WA lakes) this coming season. That means some road time.
Boat and trailer are roughly 1000lbs.
So far I have trailered it on one longer and two short trips.
Trailer has leaf spring suspension and I am not overly happy with the bouncyness. Trailer tracks great but the boat could do with less impact energy and vibration.
What are the opinions and solutions here on torsion vs leaf spring when it comes to ride quality for the boat?
I am not interested in tire wear, or how the trailer tracks for this argument here.
Comments on axle-less solutions?
Are you using anything else to add dampening, reduce vibration for the boat / the load?
(Foam, or similar in cradles, mounts, etc. ?)[/quote]
When I did a lot of traveling double stacking boats, I simply went up a level on the leaf spring. Take a picture of what you have, and go to a trailer dealer. Be sure you do get something that will handle the water immersion if you ramp launch the boat. Here, we have to deal with salt water and I ramp launch my cat in come locations. It is a simple solution you can change out yourself.[/quote]
