[MHml] 2 boats and a plan

[C.S.Johnson]

Construct or modify the trailer to support the boat by the crossbeams, then 
no trailering loads go on to the hulls. I do this with my 18 ft Cat. I have 
two swing out rollers to allow single handed loading and unloading. But not 
necessary if you float her off.
