In Response To: Seeking: Trailer or Car Top? (rb)

Hi rb, I looked in my crystal ball and this is what I saw :) Launch day you're going to take it to the water on the roof of your car. It will be okay for the short term but you will soon get a strange desire for a trailer. The pros list will grow and the cons list will shrink.

When I look deeper into the ball I see that this time next year you will be building a homemade trailer... plans from Glen-L. Here's the link http://www.glen-l.com (run a search on "Trailer"). I haven't seen the plans or tried it but it's got to be easy for a small boat like that. You could probably fashion it out of 2x4s.
