I am in the market for a trailer to haul a 19'Lightning -wooden.
Any suggestions or guidelines for choosing this trailer.
I also have a 16' catboat that I would like to haul on this trailer.
Any help would be appreciated.

I like using a flatbed trailer for boats so they sit on their keel with the hull supported by the floors and other structure. A roller across the aft end of the flatbed, a winch, and portable rollers help in moving a boat on and off. One nice thing about the flatbed is it's usefulness for hauling lumber and other stuff.

The trailer my wooden Lightning traveled on 35 years ago was rigged specifically for it. there were bunk boards about 8' long located midway between the ctr.line and the chineand centered fore and aftabout the max. beam point.it also had two additional supports, at the bow and 4' aft of the bow on the center line of the boat in addition to ctr. line rollers one of which was located near the aft end of the ctr board to carry part of its weight when traveling. It is important to have it tightly strapped to the trailer structure so the bottom doesnt get pounded out of fair.
