I've just upgraded to a new twin axle DeGraff so my current one is now for sale. It was originally a center keel type ( http://www.degraafftrailers.co.uk/ck...at-trailer.htm ) but I converted it to a roller coaster about 3 years ago ( http://www.degraafftrailers.co.uk/sw...t-trailers.htm ). It now launches the boat so much easier! It's currently got my 6mtr Gemini on it, but the boat is just too close to the trailer weight limit.... Trailer has new stainless brake cables from the front through to the wheels, and had new tyres and brake shoes mid 2012. Since then it's been to the South of France twice and Cornwall/South coast a few times (from Essex) so there's plenty of wear left. Wheel bearings are replaced regularly and it will have a new set fitted before it's sold. It'll be going on eBay soon, so make a sensible offer.. ... I'll add some photos ASAP

Be careful asking for sensible offers as other members on here gave me a right hard time when I did the same.
