Re: Trailering an ECO 5.5 (or similar small cat)

Re: Trailering an ECO 5.5 (or similar small cat)
hi Robert yes the cost of a trailer is an unwelcome addition to building a smaller boat. There is no way round it really. From my own experience, getting a trailer built that fits the boat perfectly,

Re: Trailering an ECO 5.5 (or similar small cat)
Hi Robert, Jens from Saxony, Germany, who is building an ECO62 (68) houseboat as I do, discussed this point at a German boote-forum. Following a hint, he found a professional builder, who will build a
