Default Trailer needed for a few days

Im sure most of you lucky guys already have splashed your boats. Im in a bad spot. My 88 Stinger is sitting at south branch marina in downtown on the river. I have got the motors ready to be pulled, but no one to pull them. Someone help me please, so I can get on the water before the warm weather leaves. I need either someone who knows how to do the swap(I can help), or a trailer to bring it in a shop. Its a 1988 Chris craft Stinger 375(37.5ft). 9ft beam. My email is [email protected] and my number is 312-909-0173.

BTW, how do I go about being a member of the chicago club? I would like to meet some of the locals who boat on the big lake. Thanks, Joe

I have a cat trailer and it stays on it.

First run is June 25 out of Jackson Park Yacht club.

Joe, call a few local marinas and see if they have a yard trailer. My boat stays on the trailer plus it would be a little to short.
Hope to see you on a CPC run.

I would think it would have to be a pretty big trailer. I hope I can find something so I can attend some of these cops runs!!

Joe,
Are you dry stored? Are you planning to do you own work? If so I would hire a tow truck with a boom that could pluck the engines while you are on a day rack.

I agree with Payton about one of the Marina's having a shop trailer that could get the job done also.
