I have a Chebacco, not a Micro, but had the same concerns about the trailer
design. After thinking about buying a used one and modifying it, I decided
against it. Since I would have to pay to have it modified, I thought I
might as well have a trailer made to fit the boat -- that is, 20 feet long,
but light. A local welding shop did a great job on it for $1,450 Canadian
(or about $1,000 US), and I've got a trailer I'm really happy with.

...The only things about Micro that give me any anxiety is the rudder and
the trailer. I'd like to go with a metal rudder shaft and heel fittings, but
don't know what is the best design/approach to do this. The trailer design
and purchase are not as pleasant to consider as the rest of the project. The
group's collective wisdom on these subjects would be illuminating....
