[C320-list] Boat transport

[William Ott]

Brownell hauls ours every year to our home for the winter lay-up.  We also have a wing keel.  These guys are the best, you have nothing to worry about.

The opening in their trailer for a keel (it's basically a long u-shaped trailer is 28 inches, so any keel width greater than that has to be blocked higher (up 26 inches). They have 13'6" to work with, but having to lift her up 2 feet because of keel width makes it tougher.
