Im looking at a boat for this season and found one for sale locally.
The boat is 1800 lbs dry, trailer id imagine is 800.
NY requires brakes if laden is over 3k and unladen over 1000. So this just barely passes.
Im just surprised the factory trailer doesnt cone with brakes. Fortunately the launch is 8 miles from my house and mostly flat. Id be towing with an 03 Dakota, 4.7 manual 4x4.
Should i install aftermarket brakes, or will it not be noticeable on such a short drive? Id like to take it to ofher lakes in the area, and those have hills.
