[Rhodes22-list] roller style trailer

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Gary,
There's a picture of a Rhodes 22 on its trailer at the General Boats website:
http://www.rhodes22.com/trailer_large.html

and another here on the Rhodes Owners site:
http://www.rhodes22.org/rhodes/pics/GBMAST.jpg

Most of the Rhodes 22 trailers are pretty much this design. They a re 
bunk trailers with a built in guide for the keel. The keel rests on 
rubber rollers but I don't think they turn. The boat floats on and 
off though if everything is wet, you can winch it forward a little to 
get the tongue weight where you want it. Triad has made the trailers 
for at least the last 15 years, maybe longer. The Triad trailers all 
have tongue extensions but we've never had to use ours. Boat launches 
and retrieves easily.

If you want to come up to Rock Hall, you can see our trailer which is 
a 3 year old Triad single axle galvanized trailer bought from General 
Boats. (They also make double axle versions). We got it to replace 
our old trailer - also a Triad - which was painted and rusting faster 
than we could keep up with.

Stan from General Boats took the old trailer in trade. It's possible 
he may have used trailers for sale.

Best,
Mary Lou
