Hey Lilya, I am looking for a used E27 or J24 or similar trailer for my 26' MORC boat. You mentioned that you found a few trailers in Alameda? I'm in southern california but would make the drive if I could find a trailer at the right price. Thanks! Jason

:: :: :: that is, the dimension from the bow to the keel looks to

:: :: Cradle Ride in Ontario, Canada. Here's how I did it: I
:: :: took several pictures of an existing E27 2-wheel
:: :: trailer. I asked the builder what measurements he
:: :: needed. I took the measurements and marked them on the
:: :: photos and mailed them to the builder. A month later I
:: :: picked up a very nice replica of an original equipment
:: :: E27 trailer.
:: ::
:: :: As you know J24s weigh several hundred pounds more than
:: :: E27s, so a J24 trailer, with modifications. should work
:: :: fine.
