Got a good idea for a Typhoon Trailer?

Post by David Epstein »

Looking to solve the trailer problem for a twice-a-year two-mile move of a 19' CD Typhoon. Prefer a float-on/off solution. Handy guy willing to adapt another old trailer. Suggestions and/or plans, please? I Have a cradle; has anyone ever bolted a cradle to a trailer?

Typhoon Trailer

Post by Bob Bernier »

Dave,
I converted a two-axle, flat-bed trailer into a custom trailer for hauling my Typhoon. I used "Brownell" boat stand parts (4 acme screw w/ pivoting pad and 1 acme screw w/ "vee" for the forward poppet).
This trailer does not go into the water; the boats sits too high.
If interested I can send you an AutoCAD file on 3.5" disc or an 11" x 17" drawing.
