Did you sell the Triton without the trailer?

[Keelcooler]

Yes the boat left my dock yesterday.
Heading south for the winter. Solo retired Alberg lover like me.
I’m so jealous.

He was looking at four Tritons. Stopped in his tracks when he boarded this one.
Move in ready!

He purchased all the not yet installed equipment I had amassed.
Would not need the trailer in the Bahamas

So who wants the Rolls Royce of sail boat trailers before I list on ebay?

[john61ct]

Kicking myself I didn't pick both up at the bundle price, just couldn't work out the trip to check them out, need to get fill-in caregivers lined up on standby. . .

[Keelcooler]

Bring the kids.Crabs are running.
I will put the traps in. Will keep them busy for hours.

[john61ct]

Thanks, but not just kids, hard to justify such expense "just for fun".

I'm now looking for aluminum for the trailer.

[Keelcooler]

Hard to justify boat expenses...except when it comes to fun.
Good luck

[Rasmus35]

Largest size trailer will hold? Thx

[john61ct]

32' long in total. How long a boat over that depends on factors

Liveaboard use, not hard at all when eliminating S&B housing expenses.

Trailer is 2200 lbs and about 32’ in length.
Over 12000 lbs is not recommended with a GVWR of 14000 lbs.
Mostly depends on boat weight. A J 35 ok, loaded Westsail 32’ no.

[a64pilot]

I’d feel comfortable pushing over 12,000 myself, if nothing else don’t forget tongue weight.
Tires have always been the limiting factor for me pulling things like Backhoes and tractors etc.
Your going to need a 1Ton truck minimum in my opinion though, and Dually’s are better.

[john61ct]

Are there 1-ton that aren't dual wheel? Pretty sure at least w/ GM, 3500 means dually

Other good towing information from Brian at Sailboat Transporter.
As stated above tongue weight is critical.
