Hello Could any one please provide an image of the rear of one of these boats on a trailer showing the best way to support the rear whilst avoiding the shafts props and rudder, we have a new trailer to haul the boat out on and would like to get an idea as where to set the rear mounts.

Thanks

I would want to know what the center of gravity of the boat was before I towed that

Your best bet is to pay for a lift out and about 1 hrs hold, that should give you time to get everything set up properly on the trailer for future recovery direct from the water. I assume it's only a yard trailer - not sure if a Seaward 23 will be within the legal limits for towing.

What vehicle are you considering towing with shizzle?

Hi
Firstly, huge fan of the Channel Islands 22. Look like superb, sturdy and capable (not to mention fairly brisk) boats.
With regards to trailers, it would hugely depend on whether she is single or twin screw. I'm aware that she is available in both guises.
If she is twin, I'd imagine your best bet it trying to find a likely suitable trailer, then carnage out to see and set up.
If she is single...good news. I'm pretty sure she would fit on one of the many Orion US bunk trailers that have found their way across here with many American boats. Plenty of Arvor and similar boats manage to go in these.
Failing that, a decent master craft trailer would suit. These also have plenty of bunk height adjustment and a low slung chassis support to make room for the shaft and P-Bracket. I'll try and find a picture of my old American trailer...sure they are called Orion.
