Question:

I tow a 24 boat weighing 6,500 - 7,000 lbs. fully loaded. Used a weight distribution hitch on a camper and like it. What would you recommend for the boat for trips more than 100 miles. I would not use it on local trips to the launch.

Expert Reply:

I recommend using the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET with your boat and trailer. This system is rated for a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs and total trailer weight up to 10,000lbs. If your trailer has a pole tongue we have the Pole-Tongue Adapter # EQ95-01-5950 to use the weight distribution hitch. Otherwise the included brackets will fit a A-Frame tongue with up to 6" tall frame rails.

You will need a 1-7/8" 12pt Thin Walled Socket # ALL643216 to install the included 2-5/16" hitch ball that comes with the Equal-i-zer hitch.
