Hello from Brisbane

Hi All, very happy to be part of the site as there looks to be a wealth of information contained within.
We are new to boating and have just received our 3.8m Northsea inflatable. We intend to run it with a Tohatsu 20hp.
However, I am struggling to find a outboard trolley that allows the boat to be transported with the cal upwards as per https://www.almactrailers.com.au/motortrolley.php, but also with the ability to expose the transom bracket for ease of attaching the motor to the boat transom without having to lift the motor
Any guidance would be appreciated
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all

I'd be really interested to see what you come up with. I've a similar set up to yourself and I feel that I'm starting to get towards the end (f.. K sound like an old man!) of being able to manage the 50kg outboard, so I too am exploring all options.
Chipko's is probably the best I've seen so far.
Or do I go the whole hog and trade in the caravan and SIB for a Motorhome and trailered Rib?
