They normally try and get away with an axel so close to the boat weight that often the axels are so close to the max load, or over.

Upgraded axel, and tires to 16” - wwaaayyy better. But pricey. Around a $1300 touch

But if you dont want to go that far like i said move to a radial and put on as big as you can get away with but then you may need new fenders etc.

The typical ply small trailer tires were getting eaten up on my trailer, and my boat isnt that big. Theyre not really meant for apeeds over 90km/h or long trips....

Good luck
If going to 16s, does a guy have to replace the axle? 14' bass boat
