I'm skeptical of the trailer - also not sure where it says "new." Tri-axle is not necessary. Looks more like a converted yard trailer - the front support doesn't appear to have any angle brackets. Probably good for retrieving, launching and storing boat at a marina though.

I own the boat and trailer. The trailer is not new but it has less than 500 miles on it. It is not a converted yard trailer !! It is a custom made trailer that I designed and had professionaly built, to transport my first boat, a 1940's Mahogany Yawl that weighed over 12,000 lbs. The trailer has since been modified to carry my Catalina. The front support does indeed have anlgle brackets. This trailer was designed so you could transport near everything and in fact is worth about $8000.00 on its own.

David,

After the above link was was posted - there was another for a Capri 25 - also in Canada. There were similar comments about the leanness of securing hardware on that trailer as well. Then a forum member from Canada noted the laxness of trailer regs in Canada - compared to those of the highly litigious country south of your border.

Actually the regulations here are equal to or higher than those south of the border. The securing hardware is removed in the picture. The Keel sits on a solid 1/2 in. steel u channel plate which is welded to the solid steel frame. The adjustable pads are 1 1/4 in. steel rods threaded through nuts welded to the cross frames which are welded with angle brackets to the 4 in. steel uprights. The weight of the boat is sitting on the 2000lb frame. A single 4 in. adjustable bow upright to stop the boat from travelling forward. Three 3 inch racheting straps around the boat to the frame secure the boat to the trailer. The trailer has electric brakes All trailers in Ontario must have a safty check before it can be licenced for the road.

I am not being critical of the equipment - I am only sharing an opinion which well may cause other potential buyers to keep looking.

Well thanks for the advise OJ, but if you were in the market for a C25 and you passed because of the absence of securing hardware in the picture, then you would have missed out on the best deal around. :-) By the way the pictures dont show a keel either but I assure you it has one :-)
