Trying to figure out how to haul a freighter canoe on the camping trailer.......but first, size of what a freighter might be ;
18 to 24 feet long, the beam (width at the top edges) 48" to 60", about 28 inches deep from top of the outer edge (gunnels) to the bottom of the boat floor.
The freighter can be broken down into section and bolted together quickly, in 2 o 3 sections......that takes care of the length of the cargo, but now for the width? Could load on the sides barely keeping in a 7.5 foot print.
These are great boats, they can carry tons and are very efficient, seaworthy and good for rougher water, much better than a jon boat or sharpie style mono hull. They make great campers!
Does anyone have a freighter they haul off road.....rivers or beaches?
Any ideas? Like main hull on the bottom of the trailer floor and a rack above for the other 1 or sections, bow and stern.....the main center hull can be the camper on the trailer.
The boat is probably stronger than most tear drops, but it wouldn't be bolted to the frame.....or I guess it could be too!
Again, Ideas? Has anyone seen anything comparable? :snorkel:
