Bunk or Roller

[Notebook64]

Hi
Have an telling kb350
looking to get a trailer and transom to save the inflate deflate.

Q - As long as I have a UV cover on it, is it ok to store outdoors in a compound?

Q2 - It has launch wheels, so will probably use those at a slipway / marina, therefore as it will be used in this way, rollers or bunks?

Thanks
Nick

I’ve been using the Railblaza C-Tug wheels last week and I can’t believe how good they are..
I’ll try get the video posted tonight

We’ve always kept our boats outside inflated and covered on trailers over the season so should be ok.

Trailer wise then definitely bunks not rollers. @Gray and @Sibfisher of this parish keep their Elling’s on road trailers and we keep ours on a bunked launching trolley. For tunnel hull sibs we’ve all set the bunks under the floor hard up to tubes and long enough to project under transom for support.

Below is a link to @Sibfisher’s trailer thread.

Is an Elling classed as a tunnel ?
I think I see what you mean.

As Stated by harrison if you have the KB350 on the trailer bunks tight against the tubes should be no problem, I have my KB on the trailer all year and in the summer outside inflated and covered with no problems for the winter in the garage.
With my Extreme 350 trailer I had to make longer bunks to support the transom with the outboard on.
For the last 2 years I have no problems doing this.

Would a longer trailer have sorted that?

Yes it’s a tunnel or catamaran type hull.

I suppose technically it’s a ‘tri hull’ or trimaran with it’s central inflatable keel below the floor, but that’s just confusing the issue.

what trailer do you recommend ?

Indespension bunked would be my choice.
We’ve even managed to sort a deal or three or over the years for supporting members too.
