If I remember correctly theres a Pierce Rearmount on the Outer Banks of NC with super Single rears. Dave could you explain the braking ability advantage to me? I've never heard that before.

The only one I can think of is the one at Duck.  That one is a Pierce All-Steer, in which case the reason behind that setup is maneuverability, not braking or flotation.  The other apparatus I referred to in the earlier post do have super singles, but I was talking about the fact that they had tandem rear axles.  In the case of increased braking performance, four rear brakes are better than two.  In the case of increased flotation, four large "footprints" float better than four or eight smaller ones.  Skinny tires (dual wheels) tend to dig in, not float.

 

 

I believe he was referring to the dual axles for braking ability, not the super singles.

That would be correct.
