Hi Hamish,
Thanks for sharing your experience! I also appreciate your humor?:-)
I will definitely?have a look at the pictures of your trailer on this site.
Yes, I must admit that I have the impression that you are quite a perfectionist. Now that you confirm it yourself, I am sure of it :-)
If I finally decide to build?the ECO 5.5, I won't completely?follow your example.?
I think I will prioritize speed over finish in the build and I will definitely?ask for help getting the boat on and off the trailer.?
Also, I will?first try and find a secondhand flat trailer before I decide to have one custom built?for me.?
I can even imagine simply borrowing or renting one the first time I bring the boat to the water, which is just 20 km from my house.?
Thanks again and good luck with your project!
Robert
