    Roller vs. Bunk Trailer

    I ran the calc. myself and it looks like the trailer is too small. I got about 10,600 lb for the fully outfitted weight. Also it does have the pulpit. According to the specs centerline length is 28 ft and the trailer is also only rated up to 27 ft. So I think the previous poster it correct...

    I here you on the wood being used in boats look at Old Iron Sides (USS Constitution) Still around from the revolution. I got spoke by doing too much research I think. A good quailty inspection with the right tools from a good surveyor seems to be the trick and a recurring theme on used...

    ]I went out to look at the boat today. I took some pictures of the rear bilge area. To my untrained eye things seemed to be good here. I noticed that the motor bolts appear to be fine with no sinking or leaking goop.
