[PSUBS-MAILIST] Bunk Trailer

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Already got it and it's a 26 footer as well, I will have to learn to drive slower.  I've got a Toyota Tacoma and the 6000 GVW will be at the Tacoma's max pulling limit so I am sure I will not forget it will be behind me.  :) :)
I looked at Gamma on your trailer but noticed it's not cradled by bunks, I don't think.  You have removed the bunks and it sits on some...I don't know...channels?  Did you try cradling the hull by wooden bunks?

 Jon,Gamma rides on a 26 foot bunk style boat railer.  That style of trailer is the lowest for shallow launches .  Also buy the longest trailer you can handle, not just for easy launching but for safe towing.  Gamma is 6,000 lbs and I tow it and forget it is behind me.   Nothing worse than the trailer whipping around because it is to short.  Well okay hitting your  shin on your trailer hitch might be worse ;-)Hank

Anybody tried a bunk style boat trailer with a K-SUB?   Seems most everyone is using a flat-bed style trailer but it seems like bunks could be positioned to have the sub come up quite nicely.  I'm curious about drag though it doesn't seem like the bunks on epoxy painted metal would be any worse than a fiberglas hull.
