Which works better for trailer stability: having a wide axle with the wheels far apart or having a narrow axle with the wheels close together? And whichever way is better, WHY?
The further apart your wheels are, the more stable you are on the road. As somebody else mentioned, draw bar length (how far back the wheels are relative to your car) will reduce any tendancy for the trailer to weave all over the road.
Furthermore, larger diameter wheels are better than the smaller ones as the bearings are not working anywhere near as hard. I use 15" car rims on mine. Went to a wrecker and found 3 mag wheels with good tyres for $25 the lot
The negative is your boat is higher off the ground but then if you match the trailer wheels to your car, you can use the car spare if you ever get a flat
