The trailer is a King KB-3700 and it is just barely long enough but looks like it should be fine with the weight. Since I ordered it new it was easy to upgrade to SS disk brakes and LED lights. When you walk around a trailer of this size it is one of those, "Wow, it sure is big!" moments. Two things I liked about it were the torsion axle and the fact that it is possible to change out a spindle and/or hub-bearing set on the road if necessary. Spares will be carried.

Taking down the post that holds up the roof so
the boat can be free. |
Birthing the boat off the back porch and onto
the trailer. It is obvious that it would not be possible to finish
the cabin and roof on the porch. |
Out she comes on a bunch of moving dollies |
Sterndrive is on and paint done waiting for the
cabin roof. |
