I purchased the trailer through a local marine shop, Paul Erickson's Marine Plus in Ferrisburgh, VT. The trailer is made by Sea Lion out of New Jersey. I sent a Chris Craft hull line drawing to the company so they can build a trailer to meet the need of the boat. When the trailer arrived I the boat was not finished yet and was not put on the trailer until a year later, I got delayed in finishing the boat. The trailer was very nice and looked like it would do the job.
When it came time to fit the trailer to the boat it appeared that the boat was not being supported properly and that about half or the 22 foot boat was not supported. I inquired about this and was told that this was ok, even though I asked since it was a wood boat. I would try various fixes on my own with no real success. After my second season of using the boat I turned to Paul at Marine Plus for help. With the boating season starting in Vermont Paul tried to contact the trailer company but in the end he could not help and recommended I contact them myself.
I contacted SeaLion and began working with the owners Mike and Lou. I sent photos and they analyzed the issue and recommended forward bunks. The measurements were taken and the parts made then shipped. Once I get the parts I believe I will need to move my main bunks out to accommodate the new forward bunks. I will post pictures and document how it goes. The guys at SeaLion were great in that they took the time to help and basically just charged me for shipping for the parts. They really want me to be satisfied with the trailer and are eager to help. You may want to check them out for a trailer if you need one. Till then. Michael
