Thanks, and I guess looking back at my previous posts mine is also 20 years old!

I think I would worry about compromising the integrity of the long bar by drilling through it and the whole thing could snap. Since Wavedancer and I are both on our third position I guess I’ll be ok on my trip this Saturday

Hi - I spent a couple hours repairing this over 10 year old Trailex. I use it once a year to bring my Sunfish from Massachusetts to the Jersey shore and back. It has been mostly reliable, but I can’t help but think it’s a bit light for long distance. And now this has happened again - I was...

The Trailex: On one trip to Maine the metal piece supporting one of the “cradles” broke in half, leaving a sharp end very close to the hull which fortunately did not puncture it. I later read people saying that it’s more or less a glorified dolly not meant for long trips? Other than that...

Thank you for your advice - some time ago (10 years?), with the help of this forum, I actually built onto a trailer to make it a double. So I am inclined to agree with you and am rethinking this very high priced solution. Though it did look kind of neat when I saw it, sticker shock...

I’m considering buying a Sylvansport Go trailer as I saw someone recently with a Sunfish on one. These seem to be made primarily for kayaks (and bikes) and use Thule 450 racks. My question is (and after much fruitless searching online) what to use as a cradle and is that even necessary? Would...

awesome!!

all set. thanks!!

hi - anyone know the size of the nut which holds the "interlocking eye bolt" that holds the spars together? we lost one. thanks!!

looks cool but won't all that black get awfully hot in july/august?

or at the very least, a shirt! :)

Last night I dreamed about my sunfish.

I have found that "shaving" it gradually with a sharp blade yields a smoother result than sanding, even with very fine sandpaper.

My trailer had 3 roundtrips from Boston to NJ and 1 roundtrip to Maine (it snapped on the first leg of my second roundtrip to Maine). So that is about 3000 miles total.

Boyden Lake, Maine

On a recent trip to Maine, I also had the cradle snap on my trailex. Was lucky to not have too much damage to the bottom of my boat (a ding about the size of a quarter where the ragged metal rubbed against it). I would no longer recommend the trailer either, especially since they charged me...

thank you so much for posting those photos. i am planning to do something similar in order to transport my vanguard 15 and sunfish (and seitech dolly!) on the same trailer this summer.

I put some photos of my trailex setup at: http://bcb.dfci.harvard.edu/~christie/trailex.html While I think I probably could/should move the bunks closer together, this arrangement served me well on a recent 600 mile trip. In the last photo you can see that I am ready to go down the shore. :)...
