Wow!!! That is really cool how those trailers work. Somebody was really creative and had an imagination to come up with the first trailer like that.

Also, does the paint on your Skater/MTI get damaged or chipped by road debris or loose gravel being tilted on its side traveling so many miles?.......:drink:
Take a close look at that middle picture in post #19. Look real close at the transom. You can tell everyone it's your boat.

interesting...is there a maximum angle that the engines can see before damage ensues (oil, etc)? always wondered that...id be also interested in seeing how the boat attaches to the trailer that allows the range of motion as well as boat launching capabilities...havent seen too many tilting trailers
The motors are dry sumped, and every breather is on the high side, including both fuel fills. The gas is drained from the carb bowls but that is it. A bunch of ratcheting tie downs are used to hold it down.

It's an operation, but people freak when it starts to tilt....:drink:

GD will always be one of the best looking boat/tilt/rig setups...

Not a fan of the paint on Zuperman, but still looks great on GD's old trailer/rig setup...

In watching the video of Freedom going to FL that trailer doesn't tilt and the boat has a wide beam. Do you have to pull permits for that?
