It always amuses me when owners of 26 water ballast boats give advice to people with earlier steel swing keel boats.

Am I the only one who has a tandem trailer with rollers for a 25? Everybody else seems to have a single axle. I feel so alone.

Take heart, you're not alone, except for the rollers...I think. :D

You may be somewhat alone, but I wouldn't feel lonely. I'd love to have a tandem axle trailer.

The reason most of us have singles is because that's what the boats came on. My trailer is original to the boat and came from the factory. It's a complete POS compared to the boat though.

There are a few with more than two wheels
I feel better.

In fact, I'm kinda jealous now. I really need to put on side bunks and that ladder is an excellent idea.

Do you have any idea how often I've had to do 'over 50' gymnastics to get into my cockpit at the launch site? I'd do a video but most folks stomachs aren't strong enough to witness it, plus... we have to think of the children.

There are some things the human mind is not meant to comprehend. The vastness of space, the face of God, me in a Speedo. OK, that last one made me throw up in the back of my throat. Just a little, but it was there. Thank God for Hawaiian shirts and sweat pants.

I love how the side rails incorporate a ladder into them. What a great idea. And a red canvas cover for the rudder to take the place of a flag when trailering.

I just picked up an aluminumtrailer to replace my old rusted steel trailer. I have to redo the bunks to make it fit well. I removed all u bolts to repaved with SS hardware. Can't wait to finish so I can make the swap.
