I would like to bring my laser with me from NY to NC -- a long trip, and mostly interstates. I have been reading all the posts I can find about trailers and transport and did find some good information about roll-on trailers using a dolly, but am still wondering what is the safest way to trailer (not enclosed) a laser for this distance.
I gather that deck-down is fairly stable and decreases the worry over supporting the relatively fragile hull. I'm hoping for a plan that doesn't require too many modifications to a standard boat trailer (this one was previously used to transport a Hampton One Design sailboat, deck-up) with adjustable support rails. I do have a Seitech dolly, but seems that this would be best secured upside down over the hull (?). Already made note of the leaf spring 'restacking' in the roll-on setups -- assuming this also applies for deck-down, same process of switching the middle leaf to the bottom?
All suggestions, diagrams, and photos of successful methods welcome.
Thank you.
