trailer advice Freedom 21 shoal draft
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2018 6:24 pm
Hi All,
I have an F21 shoal draft and I am thinking about fixing up an old trailer to transport and store the boat. I have seen a lot of photos on the web of such trailers and have a good idea how to modify the trailer (e.g., keel support board and bunks) but I was curious if it is a problem if the back of the boat extends beyond the trailer. I have seen some pictures where the trailer is much smaller than the boat. Is this a problem? I know all the weight goes on the fin, so I cannot see why it would matter if the trailer is a bit shorter than the boat; as long as the fin is fully supported on the keel board. The trailer I have is 19.75 feet from tongue to tail.
Anyway, if anyone is willing or able to offer advice about if this trailer might work out, I would be very appreciative.
Thanks and best wishes
Jesse
