#2 and #3 Correct Craft trailers

I have a Barracuda and for a while was using a DV trailer without success. There was one time I was trying to load the boat on a windy day and just could not do it. That day I got some damage in the fiberglass. Also, while trailing the boat you had to constantly look out your rearview mirrors to check to see if the boat was falling off. I have since replaced with a #3 trailer. Nightmare is over. I have attached pictures of the same boat with both trailers.

Bump... sale still pending on the #2. #3 still available. Would really like to see it go soon to clear the parking space for another project.    I will make a CCFan a good deal on this trailer. Again, it will be period correct for the following years/models:

All Ski Nautiques, Martiniques, Mustang 17/American Skier (17), Wildcat/Marauder/Sportsman/Riviera (17-19'), and Barracuda through 1976. Possibly others (please ask!).

It will also physically fit Ski Nautiques as late as '89, 1982-1984 Ski Tiques and Martiniques through '78, possibly others. Basically, any 17-19' non-vee hulled Correct Craft.

Maybe that 3DV would fit nicely under a BFN..... Know anyone that has one?

Bruce, you and your family seem to be a magnet for boat deals!

Let's see... The Benjamin's have CT, NY, and MA locked up, the Harts have ME,NH and VT under control..... So that leaves the rest of us with..... ah......        RI !!! Oh Great!     LOL

John, their Barracuda doesn't load nicely on the 3-DV trailer that they painstakingly restored. Its partly my fault, I had seen smaller boats fit on that trailer without any problems that I was aware of at the time, and endorsed the pair. Turns out the bunks stay a bit wider than a #2 or #3 that was typically found under the cuda, which makes it difficult to load at the ramp.

Just so the info is on the current page, I'll restate:

Sale pending on the #2.

#3 still available. Assistance with delivery may be possible- doesn't hurt to ask!

I had the conversation with your father about this already, but I think the problem stems from the fact that you have a 3-DV, not a regular #3. One of the biggest differences is the shape of the frame, where the bunks run perfectly parallel instead of tapering together like a #3 would. That allowed the v-hull boats to sit on the 3-DV without their lifting strakes crossing a bunk (a recipe for hull damage). It took me a long time to notice the difference, which is pretty subtle unless you look closely. I think the result is a wider bunk width towards the front, which exacerbates your loading problems. A regular #3 or even a #2 would probably solve them, is my guess. An additional set of center bunks to facilitate loading might also be a solution!

Those Boatmates look nice... but nowhere near as nice as an original CC trailer thats been properly restored. Your 3-dv is beautiful.

Understandable, guys. Like I said, theres an outside chance that I could shuffle trailers around and end up with an "extra" 2001 trailer... will let you know of that transpires.

Sale pending on the #2.

#3 still available! I may be able to assist with delivery... doesnt hurt to ask.

John, thanks- will do! Outside chance I could rearrange trailers and get you what you're looking for... If that turns out to be in the cards, I'll let you know!

Darren, I'll send you a PM.

I'd like to get a CC trailer under the '87, I guess I should look more for a trailer that's the same age as the boat.....
Thanks Tim!

Let me know if you need a hand haulin trailers or a place to drop store.

John

Tim, It's all John's. We're going Boatmate.

Tim,
The #3 set up with a prop guard? What are you asking for it? PM me thanks!

John.

Of course After Bruce talks to Dave then talks to you!

We might be interested in the #3.   I'll talk to Dave. Are you still interested in that $100 trailer we have? And don't forget you paid for a #2 that's up here.

I will let you know in a few weeks... there is a sale pending but I have not received a deposit nor has anything been picked up.

Tim,
I'm perfectly fine with you selling the "Classic" trailer to someone else and apologize for not getting back to you, sooner. It really needs lots of work and my current trailer fits well, although not a CC trailer. I would use it (refurbished) to bring the Classic to the Florida reunion in March, and time to rebuild it and paint between now and then is tight. But either way, if you have a buyer, let it go.

Let me know.

UT

John,

Thanks for your interest in the Tique, but I wanted bring the BBBBII for the footers and the Classic for. Riley. Only a few more 200 mile roundtrips, and I'll have the whole fleet there. I brought the Tique in 2012 and not much had changed since, but some times it is like a guy with two watches. He never knows what time it is. Thanks for being there with your family. I think we all had SOME FUN!!

Looking forward to next year.

Todd

Like Chris implied, "my Tique" is meant in past tense... It now belongs to Uncle Todd- he turned it into a rocket!
