Safe and carefree trailing of a boat, whether for a short trip or a aunt halfway across the country, depends much on selecting the right trailer and loading it cor rectly. The trailer should fit the boat with frame and springs heavy enough for the weight they will carry. This means, not just tho weight of the boat, but the com bined weight of the trailer, motor, boat and all contents. The trailer should support the hull along most of its length, pre ferably along the keel, with enough additional padded countour blocks to hold the boat steady and guard against straining the frames or seams. All equipment aboard should be stowed so it will ride without shift ing, and the boat itself should be PICNIC SET 88c A tremendous value. 22-Piece set will serve 4 people!

One of the most effective tie downs is made of b 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 cross-bar, padded where it rests on the gunwales, and fastened to the frame by a chain and turn buckle on either' side. With many of the newer trailers, transom clamps can be used in place of the conventional tie-down. Trailer hitches of the type that clamp on the rear bumper are easier to install and have been found satisfactory for light boats or short hauls. For heavier boats or long trips, a hitch that is bolted directly to the frame of the car is recommended. In some states use of safety chains in addition to the regular hitch is required by law. Most states require display of a tall light and licence plate at the rear of the trailer.

The most important thing to re member is that the car and trailer are about 20 feet longer than tho car alone, and weigh considerably more. Corners cannot be taken as sharply and it takes longer to stop and to accelerate. Up to 2000 pounds of combined weight can be towed by most or dinary cars without undue wear on brakes or transmission. For heavier loads the trailer should be equipped with separate electric trakes. A second trailer hitch on the front of the car simplifies launch ing and hauling out. The driver can see what he is doing and the car's rear wheols remain on firm ground, even though the front wheels may be almost in the water.
