Simple and short, whats better an A Frame Launch Trolley/Roadbase (Bramber type with the roller) or a T Frame Launch Trolley/Roadbase (Trident/Snipe etc..)
I currently have an A frame trolley however been looking for a roadbase for it for it for nearly a year without success (some prices have been quoted second hand are above my budget). I have been offered what looks like a snipe t frame road base however this will require me to change my launch trolley (this isn't too much a problem as have one currently lined up on a straight swap) to a t frame. Dont really want to do this however am open to change.
Want to know what other peoples thoughts are...
A few of my thoughts are below,
*The T frame trolleys are wider so the road wheels sit outside of the trolley wheels, this probably enables better stability and better for tieing down when on the road, however I like the compactness of the A frame where the road wheels sit within the trolley wheels.
*T frames also have the two retaining spikes that stick out backwards from the axle and hook over the bottom bar or the launch trolley when mated together, I have visions of these damaging the bottom of my boat while putting back on the trolley after a long days sailing. (I am a bit of a weakling anyway). Roadsbases for A frame trolleys tend to have a roller.
Whats the general consensus on both types of trailers?
Thanks
Jack
