not sure on speed rating they are load rated "C"
the boat and trailer only need to travel about a mile round trip to the gas station and water with a max 45 speed limit on the highwayi doubt i should have any problems

Hello everyone i thought i would share my new trailer build for my spectra. the old trailer needed a lot of work and i was looking to gain some space in the garage so i made the decision to go with a dolly style trailer.
im cheap so im doing all the work myself and attempting to make all the brackets and axles myself. i ordered the hubs srings spindles safety cables and a few other odds and ends from e trailer supply .
when i got the spindles i froze them then heated my axle tube so they would slip together easy before welding.
i found some nice dot approved golf cart wheels and tires for a good price to use
