boat trailer
hi i just bought a boat trailer for my tinnie (13ft with a 30hp not real heavy) and it does not have suspension is there any disadvantages to not having suspension?

Fotos always help.
The fact that the only suspension you have is the tyres, not good in my opinion, especially at highway speeds.
Recon every time you hit a bump in the road it would jar the ##### out of everything.Frisky wife, happy life. Then I woke up. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".

Hey if thats all u are doing with it then, well theres definitely no need for springs. Hardly worth belting along at 100 kays for 1 km of travel.
As the man says, dump some air from the tyres if its a bit rough in the ride.Frisky wife, happy life. Then I woke up.

Used to have a fold up 6 x 4 easy trailer, sold it to my brother when my hobbies and habits got out of hand.
