Folding roller trailer

[bobbityrockstar]

Hi All

Have any of you any idea where I could get a folding roller trailer, for a 3.7m SIB?
I'm thinking I could leave it on the trailer until the winter then pack everything down.

This is the video I saw. https://youtu.be/yfXmgwz6hBY?si=oEmi4_RCcu6kFFAE
Thanks

From memory the guy that made the trailer (I think he made a couple of them) was based in Blackburn/Burnley. He couldn't get production off the ground because of the cost and couldn't get type approval. I think he did approach a couple of trailer manufacturers who didn't show any interest.
I went down the road of converting a sailing dinghy road base trailer which I use mostly during summer when we go away on holiday in the caravan.

Hi Steve
Thanks for the info I will have a look at it now.

You don't want a roller trailer for a SIB. There is not enough support for the fabric. Carpeted bunks are what you want and they need to extend beyond the transom to support the weight of the outboard. I used a "Transom Saver" from the lower leg of the outboard down to the trailer to further take weight from the transom, but I had a 40hp.

Thanks Peter
I'm looking around at the moment for a trailer, not much about here used anyway.

I will remember what you said though.
