Trailer for honwave t32 v-floor advice...

I need a trailer urgently (as in tomorrow or saturday!!).
Im going to look at one tomorrow but could do with a bit of advice.

Its 12 feet long, the t32 is 10'6"....is that ok or too short?

The space between the bunks is described as 30, the t32 floor is 33inches wide, so the tubes would not be on the bunks......ok or not? I think one side would be on a tube and the other side on the v-floor. Im hoping i can modify to make them further part to suit the spacing of the tubes.

I would only be using it for about 100 yards, from caravan to the slipway. Its down a steep incline for about 50 yards, and as i found out this week, too hard to pull up using transom wheels!!

If anyone has a suitable trailer for sale, and lives between Durham and Dumfries giz a shout!

Why not pull up this slope with the car using the transom wheels?

I tried, but the transom wheels are not up to it. Its quite gravelly at the bottom of the slope and my caravan is gravelled standing. The wheels want to keep falling inwards.
Im also restricted to having to do it pretty much by myself, my wife is unable to assist. I need to make it easy as possible.

I am not familiar with the boat but, ideally, I would aim to have the joint where the floor meets the tubes on the bunks, also the transom. That being the case, the bunks need not be as wide as the boat.

>>>transom wheels are not up to it.

Oh well worth a thought... those Honwave transom wheels are a bit weak on any other than smoother or shorter transits.

You might well have to mod that trailer for your V floor.

If you only need a launching trailer. . . . Would a quick dismantle launching trolly not work? You could also fit a towing hitch to it just to tow up the slip a few sellers have the one below. . .

I know what you mean my transom wheels not up to it!
