ok... wow... I also agree that it sucks that the boat right behind it is identical...so to speak.

cool colors, reminds me of Lil red boats' colors which I like.

AND last but not least...

Why OL?... not derogatory in any way, just wondering how when the question "If you could have any boat in the world" comes up... that this OL was the choice.


gots to look cool seeing it on the road being trailered
 
I hauled the boat from TAOD to turbine marine for rigging. The boat sits exactly 13'6 high in the tilt position. As for launching it is very easy. Just undo the yellow straps and pull three safety pins out and the trailer comes right down to level and then just float it off like a regular trailer. Just have a big truck to pull it. The trailer alone wheighs about 17,000lbs without the boat. Yes the trailers are expensive and large but with it you can tow 24/7 with no permits.
 
Do you use these types of trailers to launch in salt water or just use a boat lift when launching in salt? I know the race boats usually try and avoid dunking the big trailers like this in salt water and I would imagine flushing a trailer like this would be very time consuming and difficult unless it has some sort of built in flush system.
 
It would be best not to put it into saltwater but you can if you have no other means of launching the boat. The trailer is 100% steel including the hydraulic cylinders. As you see the 6 small tires under the tunnel, those are raised 4 inches to lift the boat off the bunks and then the boat just rolls backwards into the water.
