I've recently purchased a Revenge and its almost time to bring it home. Home will be at the Wharf in Grand Haven, MI.

We're not totally sure if we want to purchase a trailer this season, or really at all. So, the question is 'how do we get this home?' I have a chance at using a trailer for a Silencer but am kind of doubting the Revenge fitting. If the on off chance the tongue is long enough where the bow stop could be moved enough, would the stepped hull of the Revenge and the Silencer match enough to be safe on a trailer?

Next question, is there anywhere to rent something like this to get it home? If it comes down to getting a transporter, i'll just get my own trailer.

Thanks for any insight or help on this situation.

Congrats on the new boat, we are at the wharf as well. How far away is the boat? I would think you could make the smaller trailer work just to get it home

Thank you!

The only problem is the trip is close to 500 miles. Not a small distance to hope it works, I know. Thanks for bringing that up I forgot to in my original post.

Awesome to have another PQ coming back to Michigan. Which one did you buy? Will you be joining the PQ fun run on August 16th

Thanks Drock. It's a 2005 near Baltimore. I'll make a better post with pictures and an introduction once we pick it up and get better pictures.

I reserved a spot at the municipal for the fun run, hopefully we'll get to do the whole thing.

You could also check with Phil at the wharf, they may have some trailers available to rent.

I was actually going to call them today. I didn't know if that's something that they do.

No....

Was waiting for you to chime it.

Does a normal trailer offer enough support? To rent a trailer and use it once for the 500 miles?

I would think that trailer would work fine in the picture, the silencer trailer is out of the question the 300 is far too heavy for it. Maybe a mile, but 500 miles no. Last time I weighed my 300 about half full of fuel and loaded with junk for a long weekend I had 10,690lbs on the back three axles and guessing about 900lbs to 1,000lbs on the tongue. That's with the steel trailer too.
