I think this debate can go on forever. I had an Eagle "Big Dually" trailer made for a 32' offshore that was a tendem axle with big tires, axles and brakes. My boat spent more miles on the road than on the water! I made 2 long trips each year, Michigan to Kentucky and back and in the winter Michigan to Florida and back, most of the time it was a 2 mile trip from the marina to the pole barn or just a few hundred mile trip in Michigan. 2 friends with similiar boats had triple axle trailers. (Shoreland'r and Loadmaster, both good trailers) IMO and my friends, my trailer darted less over terrible roads and didn't want to track the uneven surface. We all trailered with small single axle 3/4 ton trucks so this was very noticeable. We didn't blow that many tires but all did one time or another. We were all able to make it to the next exit to change the tire and always had a floor jack with us. Another benefit is backing up into tight spaces. When you cut any trailer hard and see the tires torqued skidding across the pavement it creates excessive wear, especially with the 3 and 4 axle trailers. My 2 Cents!
