[Rhodes22-list] Adapting a trailer

[David Walker]

Alex,

Strongly suggest that since you are in CT, taking the trailer to Triad  in 
New Milford and have them make the mods.  By looking at your trailer photo, 
you'll have to raise the bunks 18 or so inches to clear the keel and need to 
build guides for the keel coming onto the trialer for centering.  Also the 
bunks have to be curved to match the hull and placed properly to achieve 
proper tongue weight.  Not a do it yourself project in my mind.
