I have considered using the tilt function however the guy I bought it off said he used the tilt...

WANTED - Trailer for Investigator

I am looking for a trailer to suit a 563. The Trailer I have, whilst in great condition is a 'flat bed' so the 563 sits very high and is a pain to launch at the ramp because I have to sink it so deep.

I am in Melbourne

Where can I buy toerail
