looking at a Finnmaster 7600
this size comes with a trailer, i am planning to store it on land and use 'park and ride'
the park and ride works very well for my 4.5 RIB and the guys launching appear competent and regularly launch other sub 8m MBs

if i go bigger to aquador 26 i get a skeg, is this really suitable for a trailer ?

any pointers to the pitfalls of using a similar crafts as above would be very welcome
 
We trailer a Merry Fisher 695 which I think is about 7.5m LOA.. Launching and recovering is straightforward enough but we need to make sure we have lots of water on the local slipways to stop the trailer wheels running off the end of the concrete and sinking in the mud or so the car isn't too far down the ramp where traction might be an issue.. Overall with boat, trailer and gear we are probably around 2700-2800KG so it's got some weight.. Other than that its all good, if the yard is launching and recovering for you then I guess that is all down to them..
