Ah, there's a problem with these - they do need quite a bit of modification to be suitable for a SIB. Reason is that the two rails which a narrow jetski slides onto are too low and too close together for a SIB (remember that a SIB hull is much flatter, even with the inflatable keel) - so a SIB will sit on one of these with the tubes resting on the mudguards, until the brackets bend down so the wheel rubs through the mudguard

Pepper2 lives on a purpose built Indespension trailer with a home made device at the back to take the weight of the outboard and to attach the lighting board to. It all works quite well - the trailer has no sharp pointy out bits, so any lack of accuracy when recovering won't snag the boat on anything. The bunks are carpeted so they're soft on the tubes, and the keel supports are also carpeted and made of a deformable material so they're soft on the keel.

And, finally, all this kit may be up for sale shortly...
