Hi Mark,


<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Amazingly enough it actually sits lower than a C250 wing on a trailer. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

My trailer is set up for a Catalina 250 wing. My assumption has been that to load a Catalina 25 fin keel the bunks would have to be raised.

Maybe the bunks are already high enough or too high.

Do you know how high the bunks must be above the keel support to load a C-25 fin?

On a previous post I was told the height from the bottom of the keel to the bottom of the hull was 33". That is about 3 to 4 inches higher than the bunks are now.

Maybe the difference is in the height of the cabin.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,
I think you are correct about the 3 to 4 inch difference. I'll check mine when I get home. The freeboard (area above the water line) on a C250 is what makes it so tall. The 3 or 4 inches shallower draft just doesn't amount to much when trailering a fin or wing. Now a swing....that's a different story <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hi Mark,

I appreciate your looking into it.

If I sell my Cabin Cruiser before everything els, then the trailer stays and Im-a gettin a c-25 to put on it.

By the way, you've got a nice looking rig.

Thanks,

Paul
