SEA DOO SPORTBOAT WITH A MATCHING TRAILER. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO WE HAD BLOWOUT ON THE TRAILER.ONLY TO ENCOUNTER ANOTHER BLOWOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WE BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE THE TRAILER FOR ITS WEIGHT RATING. THE "MATHCING" TRAILER HAD A GAWR OF 2965# AND THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE RATED AT 1250# EACH THE GVWR WAS 2965#. I REALIZED THAT THE TRAILER WAS SUPPLIED WITH TIRES THAT DID NOT MATCH THE WIEGHT CARRYING CAPACITY OF THE TRAILER ITSELF. NEXT, ON THE WAY HOME I DECIDED TO GO BY THE PUBLIC SCALE IN OUR TOWN AND HAVE THE BOAT AND TRAILER WEIGHED .

THE SEA DOO UTOPIA 185 WEIGHS IN AT 2110# HOLDS 40 GALLONS OF FUEL 3 GALLONS OF OILTHE TRAILER WEIGHS 465#. ADD THESE ITEMS UP AND IT GIVES YOU APPROXIMATELY 2880# WITH NO SAFETY EQUIPMENT, SPARE TIRE, RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS, OR THE TOW COVER(45#). NOW SAFETY BECAME A CONCERN TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

AFTER A WEEK OF NO WORD, I PROCEEDED TO GIVE BOTH A CALL ON MY OWN. ACCORDING TO KARAVAN TRAILER, THE TRAILER CANNOT CARRY MORE THAN 2500# CARGO OR 2965# CARGO AND TRAILER.
