 Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 1:11 pm Post subject: How long is a folded mark 111 classic? |
 |
|
A 6 foot 275 pound person wants to purchase my mark 111 classic. It was a long distance phone call and he wants to pick it up with a 16 foot car trailer. Has anyone hauled a mark 111 on a 16 foot long trailer? Will he be able to fit in the cabin. I do not want him to drive 9 hours and find out that he is too big for it or we can not get it on his trailer. I know that we will have to make a stand to hold the tail up but am worried that it may protrude a bit far past the end of the trailer.
Thanks for any help.

Well....when I pick up my m3x in January I had a 25' enclosed snow mobile trailer and we had to rig up the rear door to stay open at the top about a foot....a 26 footer would have just made it.If there is any way he can get an enclosed trailer...tell him to do it! As far as him fitting into it...I am 5' 10" tall and I fit just fine .I think anyway you look at it he is going to have to try it on !
Good luck!

Brian, a 16 foot trailer has to have an extension added onto it, at least 2 feet, then it has to be wide enough for the main gear. I bought a MK-3C last year from a guy that wasn`t that tall, but had such a large girth( Belly), he couldn`t reach across to the throttle.

Not apples to apples, but my MKII is about 24' folded. The previous owner was about the size of your buyer, and he was able to fit in and fly it.

My 26' trailer can fit my MkIII and close the back tailgate, and, when closed, have just barely enough room to squeeze by if I want to cross to the other side. But only if you're really skinny.
I've flown 2-up for a total people-weight of about 420 lbs (and I'm 6' tall), so a single 275 lbs shouldn't be an issue... but, as Jim said, reaching the throttle might be an issue if the belly is large.
