I have an Alweld 1542 boat on a painted steel boat trailer. It has a Minn Kota foot control motor and a 15HP Mercury outboard. Add in some accessories, but generally it's a relatively light boat (compared to a bass boat). The trailer has basically new 12 inch wheels like you get from Walmart (5 bolt). The fenders have lots of room, and I COULD upgrade to 13 inch wheels. The chst would be about $500 for two wheels and a spare.
My trips are generally less than an hour each way, maybe 1.5 hours max. Road speeds up to say 65 here in Texas.
Is it worth upgrading to 13 inch wheels given this set of conditions? Like I said, the 12s I have are basically new.
