There's no need to part with a tried-and-true boat trailer just because you've bought a new boat not even if it's a cat or trimaron. Here's how you can modify it to suit your boat and do away with wet-foot launchings at the same time
It's easy to envy the owner of a modern low-slung boat trailer as he launches his boat in minutes with hardly a splash. But the advantages of older trailers, such as good road clearance and tires that interchange with those on your car, can hardly be denied. You can have all of these features working for you at once by outfitting your trailer with up-to-date equipment that costs only $24 for a single-keel, 14-ft. boat. Or, if you ve bought a new multi-hull boat, you can custom fit your present trailer to it with a similar setup for each keel.
