<div>Jon,</div><div>Your 26 foot trailer is perfect given your light truck. I removed the bunks, because Gamma sits on the flat battery box that protrudes under the hull. I had to add an extra crossmember to the trailer to support the weight. I have a 2 by 12 plank on the cross members for Gamma to sit on. Wood is good so the sub doesn't slide as easy and I needed the 1.5 inch lift to get the sub above the axels. </div><div>I assume you will weld some brackets and channel to the trailer frame for your rollers under the battery pods. Do you have rollers under? If not, I would put two at the front end of the pods, I put one at the front and it is a dream. The sub comes onto the trailer sitting level, while the trailer is on an angle. There is no need for rollers at the back, and the front rollers don't need to be below the pods because of the angle of attack, then they don't interfere with the sub sitting on the floor.</div><div>Hank</div><div><br></div>

That style of trailer is the lowest for shallow launches . Also buy the longest trailer you can handle, not just for easy launching but for safe towing. Gamma is 6,000 lbs and I tow it and forget it is behind me. Nothing worse than the trailer whipping around because it is to short. Well okay hitting your shin on your trailer hitch might be worse ;-)</div><div>Hank</div><div><br clear="none"></div>

Seems most everyone is using a flat-bed style trailer but it seems like bunks could be positioned to have the sub come up quite nicely. I'm curious about drag though it doesn't seem like the bunks on epoxy painted metal would be any worse than a fiberglas hull.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Jon</div><div><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"></div></div>
