Re: What size trailer should I get?
I used to pull a Hobie Cat 16' with a small Toyota truck. The side mirrors could see through the boat..

Re: What size trailer should I get?
OK, it looks like my best bet would be a 5x10 with a wooden floor. Anything else I might need? Thanks

Yep, the last two post cover most. I've got the 5x10 with wood floor, drive up tailgate, and manual winch up front.

Re: What size trailer should I get?
Here is my trailer I use for my '07 PDS. It is a 5 x 9 Tarter brand sold at my local Tractor Supply. I would have preferred a 5 x 10 but found this one used but like new and snagged it dirt cheap near my home. My cart has a rear flip seat and I have to back it on and get the foot rest over the front rail for the ramp to close. The bed mesh (not ramp mesh)deformed under the tires the first time I put it on so I bolted some 2 x 10 runners to the deck and also added another section toward the front with a beveled edge so the foot rest will clear the rail. Shown in the center of the bed are two 2 x 10 x 4" ramps I have to put about 2' up the ramp on level ground to get the foot rest to clear the ramp. I can also back up to a small incline and lower the ramp and not need this. I plan to add 2" longer rear shackles this spring to rememdy the clearance issue and rear spring sag. With the 13" tires this thing tows great and I hardly evey notice it behind my Toyota Tacoma.
BTW, if you end up with a mesh bed and want to add wooden ramps note that the distance between the front wheels and rear wheels is different at least on the EZGO TXT PDS. If I wanted a brand new trailer I would get a 5 x 10 wooden deck with either a "dove tail" or a folding ramp. On the dove tail the last 2' is sloped down about 8" with a shorter ramp. |

Re: What size trailer should I get?
I've had all sizes and types for 1-3 carts. The best single cart trailer I've had is one I bought from a rental yard. It was made for a ride-on trencher. It has a drop axle and it tilts for loading. It has 2 big tires as big as the truck. I bought it on CL for $150. I did some minor modifications. Hard to say what I like best about this rig, the low profile & easy loading, or the light weight. Both save gas compared to the fold up tailgates.

Re: What size trailer should I get?
If you get a trailer with wire mesh floor, what I did to keep it from stretching and sagging, I welded angle iron on the bottom of the wire mesh in between the original floor angle iron that was on the trailer works good now, no sagging, a little extra trailer weight but worth it.
