Shoot, Santiago, if you were to just watch the Triumph videos, you don't need no steenking trailer. Just hook the boat to your car and drag it home.:spingrin::spingrin::spingrin:

As best as I could tell, there was no damage to the hull; even the thru-hull fitting for the bait-tank intake was OK. The beach it was on had small rocks, about 6", with a few larger ones in the 12" range and we put 2X4s underneath to keep it from rocking. Also, it was at a time when the tide was dropping fast, I would guess in about 15 minutes the tide was at the bow. My boat is a FishRite, made in southern Oregon, with a thick hull of .19" and the sides are .125". The founders of FishRite were from the factory of Alumiweld and left to make aluminum driftboats which live in skinny water and are assumed to bang on river rocks. They later developed a reverse chine hull for open water that works well in typical Baja chop. At 18', the hull weighs 900 lbs, is rated for 135 hp and carries 39 gallons of fuel.
