[Rhodes22-list] Trailer re-fit

[Todd Tavares]

Joe,

    Except for the dual axles, my trailer looks almost identical.  I did not have any real concern until the first time I pulled the trailer over the road.  Over one roller on the port side there was a slight depression.  I am guessing the bouncing made it more noticeable.  When I got the boat, the axle was broken and the boat was leaning to the port side.  Rain water in the boat caused the port side floor stringer to rot. I am worried about leaving the boat on the rollers until I can replace the entire stringer.  I hope the rotten stringer isn't the cause of the depression.  

   If anyone has their Rhodes 22 on a trailer in my area (Anne Arundel, Calvert, St Mary's, Charles counties) where I could stop by to take some measurements and  make sketches, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity.

Todd
