I am considering investing in a trailer for my 68 Commander. Not necesssarily for long hauls but to perform maintenance and storage on land for periods that I am not available. My lake in Texas has very scarce facilities for boat repairs, making the waiting line months at times, also vendors are reluctant to tie up precious yard space for longer periods.
I believe that a trailer would help me be in control of when and where for boat care.
I have attached a photo of a possible candidate for trailering. Rated at about 20K lbs. I am working on the assumption that my boat weighs in around 14K lbs.
For those members with trailers, I would appreciate any sage advice on the topic. My plan would be to hire a carrier with the right equipment to do the actual transporting. My requirements would be able to drive on and off the trailer at a ramp that is readily available.
Thanks in advance, and appreciate your thoughts.
Tying to the struts was kind of an insurance policy. If it moved that much, something bad was happening. The struts came off when it got home anyway.
