I'm thankful that since my 21' sunsport with trailer weigh a combined 5100 pounds, that I have a tandem!

I tow my single axle all over the place... no issues with sway at all, but I never would trailer faster than 75mph at the max. Normally I don't get over 70. Not because I can't, but because trailer tires just aren't made for it, and one little mistake can turn into a huge one REAL fast at those speeds. If you're on C-load rated tires, you shouldn't be above 65mph whether you have a single, tandem, or triple. D rated is a little better, and an E rated is best if you can find them. Won't usually find E load range tires in 14" size tires. My 15's I was able to get some E load range on them, and they've been great. I've put probably 4-5000 miles on my trailer in the last 2 years. No problems.

I towed my SN for thirteen years with a single axle mostly with a F250 Powerstroke. I did notice some slight sway at high speeds at first then I moved the boat forward a inch or two and the issue went away. What I did notice with it was it felt like the there was a struggle between the truck and trailer when going over bumps and humps on the freeway. My Supra is on a double and the issue isn't there. The Supra tows twice as Backing straight is a bunch easier as it tracks straighter. Backing around corners is a little more challenging since it wants to plow due to the two axles next to each other.

I've never heard anyone say... "I wish my boat was 2' shorter". I would definitely go with the 24v.

The Supra. It's cheaper, has a 496 vs the 350 in the other, longer/bigger, dual axle vs single, etc... Assuming comparable condition, which I would think should be a safe bet since they're both brand new, the Supra seems better all around.
Don't forget moomba isn't as cool as supra so from a cool perspective you'll be that much cooler with the cooler supra. Just remember the words of the great Robert plant. "You stroll, you jump, you're hot and you tease
'Cause I'm your tall cool one and I'm built to please" I'm pretty sure he was talking about supra boats. And please forgive me that song was on the radio as I was driving to work this morning

The Supra has wet-sounds in-boats but will need new tower speakers (if that's your thing.) Looks like some of the upholstery is also on it's last legs on that one.
