I will add, I will probably take them in once or twice to get rotated as well... not a big deal I don't think, but the old ones wore differently front axle and rear axle... and its free so may as well....

FWIW, Carlaisles (sp?) are a four letter word in our group. For good reason, for us anyway. I had to buy some at FF a while back for emergency reasons, and hated that I had to. Just not good luck with them. I do have a utility trailer that still has soome carlaisle on them, no blowouts with them yet.

Now have some Towmax and Commander (or commodore?...) and hopefully they will be good. The shop who put them on said they won't even mount carlaisles for anybody... but they don't sell them either, so take with grain of salt wink good luck!

the ones on the tool trailer arn't to bad... the tri axle dump trailer with 14 plys gets spendy... I think I put two brand new tires on it last season... got to stop running over stuff in the dumps and what not! Stinks when the treads not even worn! Haha... tires can be a pain, this is the first set or carlises I have run... the ones that where on it where load stars or something that came with the trailer... TSC sells them... they lasted me over four years, and my trailer is pulled a lot with a decent load on it...

When I just bought my Goodyear trailer tires, the service manager asked if I wanted them balanced. I asked him why I wouldn't and his response was that it's not worth it since there are no passengers riding on the trailer. I'm still not sure if that's a valid argument but I didn't notice any bouncing or vibrations during my 500 mile trip. I can always get them balanced in the future if needed

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
