The boat I was looking at buying has a multiple concerns, including not having the title in the seller’s name. I am again surfing for another 205 EASTPORT 205.

Q1: what is a suitable trailer for a 2005 205 EASTPORT that weighs 2,800-lbs (dead weight) with its engine?

Q2: Should I be buying a 4,000-lbsrated tandem axle trailer?

[The responses contain] great advice. GoldenDaze: [your prior article on installation of hydraulic steering to a 160 VENTURA is a] great resource.
