What is the name of the place in Missery that makes them. American trailers?????

skaterchris 04-24-2007 05:30 PM

Team Taboo, What kind of boat are you hauling, is the trailer user friendly, heard the trailer is hard on the boat?

Just got one and love it. A little more work taking the fuel and oil out but looks great and no permits.

MitchStellin 04-24-2007 05:48 PM

Oil out? every time? That does sound like work. If the whole deal was dry sump would that matter. Fuel is easy, just run it out, should be just a few miles with that power.:eek: :D

Can ya dunk them?

$78,000?

MitchStellin 04-24-2007 08:15 PM

Are you serious, $78,000. Maybe they make a hand crank one:D I bet it is a real work of art, making it tilt, supporting the hull evenly and making it secure when on its side. How about handling, there is a bunch of weight 15ft in the air, almost 1/2 the boat. I think they are cool and would make the most sense for hauling, even with permits it is a wide load that can be clipped easily, and you don't need that hassle.

Lake Cumberland has a complete truck/tilt trailer rig for 43 NorTech for sale. Make an offer

who makes the best tilt trailer...

TeamTaboo 04-24-2007 09:54 PM

American Trailer so far. We do not drain the oil, just plug the fuel lines to make sure the carbs don't leak. The boat is under 13' 6" high and 9' wide when it is up. Our old trailer towed perfect. The new one can be launched in fresh water for testing without a crane. We have a 42' MTI ( BTM Marine 12 ) that will be racing with the Pro Series this year.

When you launch in fresh water do you tilt the trailer flat and why only fresh water?

Because the salt water is hard on the trailer. They crane the boats at a saltwater location. I think.......:rolleyes: :cool:
