I am contemplating trying to combine my TDB-17" trailer, via the addition of a hull cradle, and metal frame that would carry my Bankes Hercules above it. The Bankes support frame would have to tilt/rotate to allow it to launch after I dropped my TDB in the water at a ramp, enabling me to use a single boat winch for both boats.
I have considered a pair of round pipes U-bolted to the top of the boat trailer frame that would have the vertical supports nested in T-brackets that set on the frame members, that could be cotter pinned in place to minimize movement and consequent road noise and wear of the horizontal supports.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to engineer this better?
