I am looking at purchasing a 22i. One of the 22i we are considering is on a Dorsey single axle trailer. Most that of the Tige that I have looked at are on tandem axle trailers! Any feedback? Will a single axle handle a 22i?

A 22i can ride on a VERY sturdy single axle trailer, but I would not own one for that boat. A tandem axle is the only way to go. Do whatever you can to get the tandem, including looking for a dealer or manufacturer who will sell you one, and buy the boat without the dealer trailer.

A 4000lb boat needs a tandem axle trailer.

Definately need a tandem trailer. Like Bakerds2121 stated that the boat weighs 3,800 lbs. Not to mention what other goodies you may store in the boat. Check www.extremetrailers.com thats the trailer I run and have good experiences. In fact, I went their today and they are very polite and helpful.

I have a 22I and it rides on a tandem axle Dorsey trailer, with surge brakes and a swing away tounge. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I bought a Prestige trailer this year. Great trailer. Very well constructed.

We use an Extreme tandem axel.

The only thing I would change is to order it with 2 spare tire carriers.

No one makes a good trailer tire.

And the two marker " Bunks" that stick up above the water that guide you onto the trailer should be foam, and be able to rotate as the boat rubs by.
Only because I'm usually launch / retrieving in flowing water and the boat yaws more, or one of the kids is driving it on the trailer.

Our Tige 22iR
I was thinking of ordering a new one from Daniel. My Daughter loves this boat so much It'll have to be the same colors,, think she'll notice the difference?
