Could be wrong........but I do not believe there is any issue's for a person being inspired by other idea's to build there own creations with a blend of concepts.

Every product on the market is a copy........with added twist and improvements to make it there own.

One thing great about OSO is every one helping each other to take things to the next level with shared wealth of knowledge from past, present and future idea's.

Thanks

bgchuby said for you to call him, he has plenty of pictures of tilt trailers and knows how they work. call him at
nine zero nine eight one six one one zero one

he says the average height is 13.6 or below. I have towed a couple of them and it is real nice to not have to worry about permits.

It will probably depend on the boat and the trailer but you will want to stay under 13'6"

yep, that way the oil will not travel past the rings of the down side cylinders and into the combustion chambers when tilted, also good idea to re-direct the fuel tank vent lines to the high side and protect any other vessels that could leak while tilted !

Not necessarily. You could have a quick oil change pump setup that would pull out all of the oil before tilting. But you would still have to have all of the vents routed to the high side.
