trailer for lifting keel

[MIKE2000]

I need to know if the lifting keel of my boat is suited to roll onto and stay stable using rollers instead of using a crane lift and sitting it on the flat platform of a trailer.draft is 2'7" and beam is 6'7" and it has a round bilge.If with some adjustment it is practical then I have an opportunity to get a very good trailer at a good price.

I am not sure what response you are expecting unless someone has the same boat as yours which from your profile is a Seamaster 20.
I have two friends who have trailered their boats. One was an Evolution 26 with a lifting keel, draft up perhaps 12". Longer and wider than yours, went on trailer no problem. Actually fitted into/onto a cradle which was part of the trailer.
Other boat is a Highlander, same designer as Evolution, but boat is 28 feet long and 10ft 6inch wide, again lifting keel but minimum draft 3 foot. Again trailor has cradle and you float the boat onto the trailer.
I would have thought there would be no problem floating your boat onto a trailer, even if the supports were rollers rather than a cradle arrangement. I would not recomend dragging/winching a boat onto a trailer as you do with a speed boat.
Hope this helps. Paul
