Trailorboat 50th reunion and campout

Postby VW JIM » Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:26 pm

We had our 50th reunion of Trailorboat trailers May 10,2011 in San Rafael, Ca. We are a small group of Trailorboat owners, they are little trailers with boats on top. The reunion was a big success with 10 of the 29 know trailers to exist showing up. We went to a car show in San Rafael and were a big hit, as this is where they were built 50 years ago. If you would like to see pictures of them and learn more about them and our group go to www.trailorboattrailers.multiply.com I have not been able to post pictures on this site, sorry. :(
Thanks for looking

An email addy doesn't get you to the pictures. Well, at least it doesn't get me to the pictures. It may be good but I don't know all the tricks of getting to them that way. And I would like to see the pictures. :(

Very cool pics, Jim ... :thumbsup: ...!

Thanks for sharing! I'm almost wishing I would have bought the molds when I had the chance a couple of years ago ... :thinking: ...

CHEERS!

Why are they not still making these wonderful trailers/boats?

Trailorboat camping

Postby VW JIM » Sat Jun 18, 2011 9:28 am

We are having so much fun camping with our Trailorboat, everyone who see's it, love it. Why they were not made very long is a good question, the one thing is, not just anyone can build one (fiberglass).

Robert, my kids might fight you for it? ;)

I heard a rumor that the trailer boats were going to be manufactured again. Is there any truth to the rumor?
