Wow - thanks so much for all of the advice! Looking over the replies, I realize I should have included my name in the post (Fred Green) so that people didn't have to always say "fgreen70." I'm glad that I posted the question here, as I was all set to drive 3 1/2 hours down to Key West to buy a 15' sport this Saturday. I now think that I'll try to find a 17' Montauk where the trailer doesn't extend much past the boat. I liked Tim's suggestion of pushing the trailer through by hand after backing it up with the car. I hope that soon I'll be able to post info. about my "new" classic Whaler. Thanks again!
