Trailer Size

Post by Active »

Can anyone tell me the distance between the jockey wheel and the single axle wheels on the late model (2008) factory trailers? Also, if possible, the rear overhang to the boat stern.

I just measured my 2007 aluminum trailer. I believe it is the same as yours.

Distance between front ladder and axle: 198 inches, (+\-).

Overhang from rear of trailer to boat stern, (bow snug against V notch): 41 inches, (+\-).

Total overhang from rear of trailer to rear of upright rudders: 71 inches, (+\-).

Great! Thanks much - to park it behind my house I have to swing it through a narrow space - need to prepare the area beforehand & wanted to keep the destruction to a minimum.
