I disagree with the logic. My CTL weighs 12k chained on a 5k trailer. If I use 3 one inch ratchet straps on the front and 3 on the back that should be good right? Wrong. Hard breaking could easily snap a 2500 pound strap on the back. Well that’s only in theory. The rubber tracks are high friction and the parking brake is good. I don’t think it’s going anywhere with no chains but I’m not that stupid. I usually use two 2 inch straps on the front and and a 3/8 grade 70 chain on the back. I really should use 5 tie downs per DOT regulation.

That's amazing that you have a 12k CTL on a 5K trailer. I hope that's a misprint.

Bolted right through. Can't you tell a permanent upgrade when you see one?

Can also be used to transport Rover, since the pallet slats allow poop and pee to flow down to where the wind can dispose of them. Bonus, no dog hair on the seats!

I am NOT making a political comment- but isn't that the "Mitt Romney" canine carrier- patent-pending?

I hope this is sarcasm. The context is clear; the trailer weighs 5k.

The trailer is rated for 22k. It weighs around 5k.

The front of the boat was against a post that was very sturdy along with a chain that went under the front to the trailer frame. The ropes were just on the transom. I realized I left that detail out as soon as I read your post.

The only thing worse than the poster's ability to use reason and logic is his spelling and grammar...
