31 Trailer?

[amuh60]

Can anyone suggest a good trailer builder in the Southeast Region(AL,FL,MS,LA,TX etc..) for the 31 Bertram?

Thanks,

Andy,

Hi-Tech Marine Boat Trailers in Panama CIty, FL is excellent, pretty fair pricing. They built the trailer for Gerry Santiago's B31 and built several others for B31s...

I know this has been covered before, but can you launch a 31 on a trailer using a backdown launch, or do you need to launch it from a hoist.

Jack,

It can be done, but not at just any ramp or with any vehicle... Most concrete boat ramps are designed for smaller boats and have relatively short aprons. You'd need to find a ramp that has a good tidal flow, is in an area that has at least a 2' - 3' stand of tide, and launch/haul on high tide. You'd also need a 4x4 1 ton dualy truck, preferably diesel.

Br,

Patrick
