Default Re: Trailers for a '23 Scepter

1973Tsunami,
You make some interesting points. I have been part of many launchings from a trailer here is the north and nearly all the trailers have been roller or roller/bunk combos.

I remeber a trailer we had as a kids with a 15' "motor/sailer" on it. It had a lever to lift some aft bunks up to take the load off the keel. There was a couple of forward bunks set as vee's that would support the bow sections, but something like that with a 23 with a gross weight with gear and fuel weighing some 5000+ pounds is an impossible dream.

I hope that others keep the thoughts coming. I still like the bunk idea. Not because of the cost, rather the long term impact on the hull. Maybe I am not that concerned because my employment is not quite that hard and fast with reard to 9 to 5. If you know what I mean.

Thanks for your comments.
