I had seen somewhere here comments about your trailer.

I think you have sold your Wharram now. Do you have a plan for the extendable trailer you had?

We are looking to have a trailer we can build the tiki on and then float it off from; this will also enable long term storage at Tokaanu in the fenced areas. But still want to be able to pack it up and take it to hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
