Bet you could make this into a double T boat trailer?

You'd almost be better buying a larger trailer then what you need with large wooden bunks. Then just drive two tboats on one behind the other. Didn't someone post a picture of a trailer that had a second boat ontop of the other for the thunder cat tunnels?

Having the boats in line on a single trailer is too long a trailer and difficult to work with. The Stacker trailer requires either a lift system for the top boat or a big crew to get the top boat down. My side by side double T Boat trailer works very well. The only problem with it is side support for the boats once you tilt the boats. Storage is perfect, the complete package with both boats on the trailers takes up the same amount of room as a single one boat trailer. That saves me $600.00 a year is storage fees. I have found the side by side style trailer has other advantages. You can have T raceboat on one side and another boat, ATV, PWC or box on the other. It eliminates the need for a truck to move everything. This trailer with the heavier springs would work well for the person wanting to do the same thing.

Got any pictures of your rig? I'm interested how they angle the boats to fit two on. I just realized you'd need like 28 feet of wooden bunks to make it work properly and that's definitely not an opinion.

Thanks DOC. This trailer is actually 2 separate trailers. You pull a few pins and you have two complete trailers with lights. The rotating bunks were designed to fit Critchfields. You need to reposition the front roller for a VooDoo.

Thanks for putting up the picture doc. That's an ingenious way of make a double trailer, very cool

If I had a trailer like the one on the initial post, I would make the bunks not only rotated like my trailer, but also slide to the side. You cannot be more than 8 ft 6 inches wide on the road. You can be wider in the pits. By having the bunks slide to the sides, you would be able to have 2 boats in their down position side by side at the races. You then launch both boats off the same trailer at the same time. To go on the road, you tilt the boats same as my trailer and slide the bunks into their inside position. The trailer is now 8 feet wide and street legal.
