Tsubaki, I was thinking the same thing. They look like they are spring loaded, so they will conform to the hull shape as the boat comes onto the trailer. Center keel rollers take the weight, and the outboard rollers act as stabilizers. Really neat set up.

Maltsu, welcome to the site. Although you are not the furthest in distance, you are certainly one of the furthest away. In all cases, seeing the smile on your face in that third picture speaks volumes. Great find, and I know you're going to be happy with her.... and it looks like she found a good home. Congrats to both of you.

Since I don't see a cowl in the first pic, I'll go out on a limb and guess it's I/O powered.

Thanks for compliments. As almost always, the boat looks better in the pictures as it currently stands.

About the trailer: I rented that trailer just to transport the boat. I'm not sure yet if I'm gonna buy one, because those are pretty expensive. I need to say, that all equipment are more expensive here than in states. We had some bad luck with that trailer. After we had the boat on the trailer and we were on a half way to harbour in Stockholm I noticed some strange noise. It was the wheel bearing. After that we drove 10-20 mph and luckily got to the ferry and back to Helsinki alive. Anyway, I'm not sure if I like those rollers, but they are useful to fit all kind of boats and hull shapes on the trailer.

Power plant: It's an outboard model, but there's no engine at the moment. My plan is to repower with a decent ~150 hp engine and I have been looking for a used one, but there haven't been many decent ones available on 130-200 hp range. So now I'm negotiating a deal about a new 150 hp Optimax XS (trading in my old boat)! :)
