trailering an Ariel?

[noeta-112]

Mark,

I haul and launch NOETA using a chopped mobile home trailer-frame with a wooden cradle. It has a very high center of gravity but has hauled the NOETA  over a 100 miles of crowned Maine roads (previous owner) and about 1/4 mile twice a year from my yard to/from the so called boat ramp which is a steeply sloping, pot holed, dbl. S- curved, ledge laden, clay & honey-pot infested truck bustin, axle-cracking, S.O.B. The launching/haulout is accomplished with my Ford F-250 (the only Ford I have ever owned & the LAST) (Leaky hydraulic clutch slave cylinder-clanky 4 wheel drive, etc. etc. ) The trailer attaches to a pintel hook on the truck while the trailer end of the hitch is a large shackle welded to the frame. In 4WD low range it's a piece of cake to haulout and flog the whole wicked mess to death for the sad trip home for the winta.  Will try to post photo of trailer. next

Good ole Yankee thrift and ingenuity at work there. That lumber probably came from an old barn.
