trailer for a 28 te fit a 27 fc??

Post by coolchange »

Kind of an emergency question: Is an 1998 Albin 27 fc going to have any chance of fitting on a trailer currently set for a 1994 Albin 28 TE?

Any chance? I'd say...maybe. Both have skegs so the trailer should accommodate that, but I'd be concerned about the bunks supporting the hull properly.

Since you say it's an emergency I guess it's worth a shot. I'd have plenty of lumber and blocking material with me to make sure she's supported.

Good luck!

In case any of the other guys want to comment, I recently saw a 27FC on the hard at my marina and took some pictures of her. I'm posting them here to show the hull shape.
