Anyone with a flat bed trailer

[jimbouy]

Hi

I've seen a boat to buy. Leisure 17, just what i wanted.

But i am not happy with the condition of the trailer. The brakes arre seized.

Anyone know some one with a flatbed trailer that could take the whole thing and trail it to Mid Bucks??

I don't have a trailer so cannot help but I would hire a car transporter-trailer. I think they cost about £25 a day. It would have a winch and would be up to regs. and would easily carry the weight of a boat and boat trailer and would have a winch and ramps so you could winch boat and trailer onto car transporter. Most trailer hire companies would have one. Hope this helps. Paul

I have used a car tranporter trailer twice a year for several years to get my Silhouette to/from Poole Harbour,it works just like Paul says,no problem

Thanks all

in the end I freed up the brakes sand put new trailer wheels on instead of the mini wheels it had and towed her home.

Only think is that the off side wheel suspension arm seems to have buckled on the way.

New hubs I think

Do you put the boat straight onto the car transporter or is the boat already on its own trailer?

The boat is already on a four wheeled trolley,simply reverse up to the trolley,drop the ramps winch the lot up on to the trailer, lash it down with ratchet straps then off we go, offloading is just the reverse but without so much effort on the winch, the boat floats off the trolley and the trailer wheels never get anywhere near the water
