I have an Oday (new to me) 25 centerboard/shoal draft. The previous owner closed off the centerboard. It's come with an excellent double axle trailer with full rollers.
The tow vehicle is a 2011 F150 4WD Eco-boost rated for 11,300 pounds so no difficulties there.
Most ramps could be pretty shallow into the water. I have heavy-duty chains if I need to give it a little bit of extension, just loaded off but no trailer extension bar. Do I need one and if so could somebody post pictures of theirs, both ends?
Any other suggestions about first launch would be welcome!
I think I'll have enough trouble getting the mast raised for the first time. I'll might chicken out and use a yacht club hoist that one. If anything falls it'll have at least a 50% chance of hitting H2O.
