I have a couple questions or concerns with two things stated in the info at the link posted:

Someone sent me this when I was boat shopping. Do you have any sailing background?

I've quoted two things in the info, that I'd appreciate getting other's opinions or experience on:

"All of the current model boats that are being produced by the three main catamaran manufacturers (Hobie & Performance Catamarans) demand a cradle on the front support of the trailer to handle the hull. Do not use rollers as a hull support! You will suffer hull damage almost immediately!"

(I only have rollers on the rear of the trailer, for the stern of the hulls. On the front support on my trailer, the hulls rest on thick, flat rubber (no contour).)


"The trailer wheels should be at least 12" diameter if you plan to travel any distances at all."

(My trailer has 5.70 x 8 size tires. I just installed new hubs with new bearing races and cups as well as new Bearing Buddy hub covers. Both tires are in excellent condition.)

IS my tire size a problem, even if I want to take the boat hundreds of highway miles, as long as I maintain the bearings/grease?

Are my hulls safe, with them supported on the front with the flat rubber that they rest on?

Thanks!
