Carl,

There are a group of Southern CA Tornado owners working out plans to get 3 or 4 Tornado tilt trailers built in the next month or two. We have a few concepts that look promising. One involves an all aluminum trailer for good corrosion resistance and a "crane" post that will hoist the boat up via the main beam/hull intersection point, up into an upsidedown beam cradle fixed the the top of the crane post. The high side will then hang from this cradle only...no other support posts will be needed since the main beam is so close to the balance point of the whole boat. The lower hull will be strapped into pivoting hull cradles and thus provide all the other hold down stability needed. This has advantage of keeping weight aloft to an absolute minimum. If more weight is wanted down low for stability, a good sized storage box could be added etc.

Can you provide us any details on your trailer? Pics? Drawings? Doug Graf's contact?

Mike.
