does this sound daft?

Due to already having a trailer(car) in my drive, and thus currently limiting my options in a search for boat & trailer, I am considering getting a SIB that can be packed away in the car, but I know that I'll want to trailer it at times.
Is it feasible to put some sort of rack on a small camping trailer to transport the SIB?? rather than a bespoke trailer.
This would hopefully give me some storage space as well as a useful trailer for other uses, and one that can be upended and put away easily.
many thanks
Mark

Sounds pretty sensible to me as long as it's done right

Yes

.

Outboard and other kit goes into the box trailer, job's a good 'un.

Nice one Chris123.. and is the SIB 3m or more?

chris123 · 08 August 2011, 21:58

3.2 metres.

My current SIB is 3.5 metres long - it went on there fine (just a bit close to the car's rear window), it was just far too heavy for day to day use.

A normal SIB like my old Avon in the photos would be fine.

Cheers

Used to put the 3.8 on the roof rack

general123 · 08 August 2011, 22:25

roof-rack... even better

didn't think that would be viable, but that could solve my logistical problem
thanks
