In Response To: boat trailer question (william)

William,

You'll need a triple axle trailer with a minimum of 12,000 lbs carrying capacity... Dry weight of the B31 is between 11,000 & 14,000 lbs depending on the particular boat.

Long periods of standard trailer storage can damage your hull, especially with just two bunks. If you'll have it on the trailer for more than a month or two, devise a method of adding additional support blocking at the chine and keel to spread the load & releave the bunk stress.

Best regards,

Patrick
