23' Trailer Question...
Focusing on making my trailer safe. If anyone w/ a 1/2 a brain saw the condition of the trailer that trailered my Tsunami up from Florida to New York - you would have sh_t: (2) blown tire etc ...!
E-Beach - I was just a 'little' luckier than you !
The craziest part is that it made it here !!!
Anyway, it's dual axle, galvanized I-beam, float-on type. I think I figured out it's a mid '80's Rockland, or Rockwell - whichever, the original manufact is gone.
The questions:
I need to replace the wood float-on bunks ( each bunk is currently made up of (1) pc of 6"x6"x6'long - mounted to the trailer w/ U-bolts and then a 2"x8" lag screwed in, flat on top of that ). I want to repalce all. What is a good dimension of wood for a float-on for these hulls and what is the centerline distance between the two bunks once mounted ?
What size keel rollers do you use ?
What should the 'tongue weigh' ?
Thx,
Alan
