On the scrounge - need to borrow/hire a large boat trailer at the end of this week

Does anyone have a large boat trailer that I might be able to hire/beg/steal/borrow towards the end of this week (pretty flexible, but Friday would be ideal). I'm collecting a rowing Umpires launch from the Thames - trailer will be dunked briefly in fresh water before being towed back to the South coast where the boat will be lifted off. Trailer needs to be a long as possible - the launch is about 9m long (weighs next to nothing) - I should be able to get away with a reasonable amount of overhang so doesn't have to be quite that long.

I live in Romsey, so anywhere within about 50 or so miles of there would be ideal.

Any sort of deal considered! Drop me a PM if you're able to help.

Tim I've a couple your welcome to borrow but they are a bit short IMHO. Ones 20ft long the other 23ft and I'm 150 miles from you

so not much help at all really, sorry

Peter, very kind, but I'm hoping to find something a bit more local! Tried a hire place and they don't have anything available this week. My only other option is to get the boat that is on my big trailer craned off for the day so I can use that. What a performance!
