In Response To: Nimble 24 trailering (John Healy)

Don't know if you can see it properly in this photo but the built in tongue extension on my trailer is the only thing that enabled launch and retrieval. I think it is in the 20 ft range and the (sliding box frame type ) the box runs from bow to stern and the extension can come out some 10-15 ft. - I'll measure it and take better pics next trip to the boat. and find out the company who makes the trailer. You can see the ball hitch end just under the bow of the boat....and it runs all the way to the trailer end.

The only problem was to get the damm thing out of the sleeve first time, took some banging and changing angles while pulled out. I greased it up going back in so hope that helps next time.
