	Bob,

	The dimensions on the drawing of the trailer contain a mistake
	which I forgot to correct.  The rear vertical bunk support is taller
	than the front.  I had the dimensions reversed.  See the sketch
	with the boat.  16.5" in the rear and 15.5" in the front.  The
	question of supporting weight with the keel roller (and how 
	much weight should bear on that support roller) has been
	debated here in the past.  Maybe some of the more 
	experienced members will have better advice on that subject.

I went to Talbot's trailer yesterday and measured it.  There were some small
variances from the drawing sent by Rob Lowe.  Most are minor - 1/4" longer
etc.

But the height of the supports are reversed.  That is to say the drawing
sent by Rob shows the rear supports at 15.5" and the front at 16.5". 
Talbot's trailer is 16.5 for the rear supports and 15" for the front (15.5"
to the cross member but 15" from the top to the frame.)

Does anyone know the height of theirs?

Knowing the height on a couple more trailers would show which trailer is
wrong.  - The one the drawing was done from or Talbot's.  My instinct tells
me Talbot's bunk supports are reversed because I think the front need to be
a little higher than the rear to account for the change in hull angle toward
the bow.

Talbot - I don't think this would contribute to extra weight forward of the
axle as it's only a slight change in angle.
