Hey Guys, Kinda an odd question but basicly I looking at buying two rail buggies. One for me and one for the wife, Id like to get her a 4 seater for the kiddos but here is my delima. I have a 24' trailer and Im pretty sure I can put two 2 seaters on there OK but I wonder if I can ever make a 2 seater and a 4 seater both fit. I figure if I back the first one on the motor can hang over a little on the front and the second one could be pulled on foward and let the motor hang off the back a little if need be.
What do you guys think? Can I make 2 buggies fit? Can I fit a 2 seat and a 4 seat rail?

Really depends on the exact rails that you get. I think it very possible though. The things that will hurt you are front bumpers and how long the nose is. Most rails have a short back section but the fronts can sometimes be stretched pretty far. I'll have to measure my two seater, but I think it's around 14-15'. Including a bumper that sticks way out front.

I assume you mean 100" wheel base, which is barely over 8 ft, I need to know total length. I was thinking most 2 seaters were close to 12ft total.

Here is a 92in and 104in on my 18 ft car hauler. I now have 2x3s making my four seater 107in. We have yet to try Bubbachains (also 107in) and mine together.

Thanks guy, I dont see any reason I cant do a 4 seater and a 2 seater on my trailer. With 24 foot I really dont think I'll even have to stack them.
