:: Hi Jason, I just posted a note mentioning that I might have a trailer for you - I will know by Monday afternoon.

:: 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

:: :: :: :: Has anyone used a J24 Triad Trailer to haul an Express
:: :: :: :: 27? I have compared drawings of the two boats and have
:: :: :: :: noticed that the keel on the E 27 lies further forward,
:: :: :: :: that is, the dimension from the bow to the keel looks to
:: :: :: :: be about the same as a J24 thus allowing the use of the
:: :: :: :: Triad without too many alterations. If anyone has any
:: :: :: :: dimensions for an Express (bow to keel), they would be
:: :: :: :: greatly appreciated!
:: :: ::
:: :: :: I would help you if my boat and trailer weren't locked
:: :: :: up in a warehouse for the winter. There are plenty of
:: :: :: E27s and trailers in the Bay Area if that's where you
:: :: :: are located. If not perhaps someone from the San
:: :: :: Francisco fleet could help.
:: :: ::
:: :: :: Several years ago I had a new E27 trailer built by
:: :: :: 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.
:: ::
:: ::
:: ::
:: :: Thank you! I actually found a few in Alameda and did
:: :: exactly that - with tape measure and camera in hand! Now
:: :: for a little plasma cutting and welding. Ahhhh, women's
:: :: work is never done....
