Pacific trailer suitability
I have seen a trailer on Ebay which I`m seriously considering having a go at. It is a De Graaff SB3500/4 ADJ

At the risk of bringing it to the attention of a wider audience
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GRAFFE-Boat-Tr...#ht_500wt_1156
I`m uncertain of it`s suitability for my Pacific 22; I`ve been advised by an SBS dealer to go for their 3500KG capacity trailer and although the Pacific is a heavy boat I`m a bit concerned this may be a bit too big?
Anyone have any comments, the owner of the eBay trailer states the trailer is fully adjustable, etc.
Also, does anyone know someone who would do a delivery run on this trailer Sussex-Cornwall?

I use an Admiral trailer for the Arctic with 24 rollers, think it is a 3500 kg, its something i have no problem with it being over spec'd.

Cheeky cnut! My boats built for comfort, not for speed and so am I!!
I was wondering when you'd put in an appearance?

Checked my trailer at the weekend and tis a 3000kg, I would think that the Arctic with twin outboards will be a similar weight to the Pacific.
