Trailer length

[wellcraftv20step]

Total length Phat ! The Dealer did not even seem concerned about the bow eye to transome measurement. I'll have to think on this a little more. I may even call another dealer today and see if his advise differs .

LOL Ya think????

Lets see... Boat is on backwards, Rollers on trailer are old, cracked and need replacement, fender is missing from one side, tongue is rusted and connector is missing... Ya, that's a steal for $500... only problem is the seller is the one stealing the money.

There should be a law prohibiting some people from boat ownership.

Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention about the length of the trailer. A longer trailer is easier to back up. Yes, you lose a little maneuverability but on turns, but the longer a trailer is the easier it is to back into position. Ask any truck driver.

Just went and measured mine. V20 on tandem bunk trailer

Total length, coupler to rear of prop, motor straight down. 28' 6"
Length coupler to end of bunks/transom. 26'
Length from bow eye to transom. 19'6"

I Realize your boats not a v20.

my trailer is about 2 feet longer than the boat, maybe 3. works fine. I have a Loadrite 3100 single, roller.

my take on roller vs bunk-

We have a big tide swing 4ft or more. That means ramps are steep (so they don't have to be very long to reach low water). I like a roller for this because you put just the rear roller at the waterline and crank it up. On a steep ramp, if you put the entire bunk in the water it will be angled steeply, the *** end of the boat floats around. Forget about it in the wind.

If you can get away with a bunk, do it. Cheaper, less to break. Also, You can get an aluminum bunk trailer, not so with roller.

If you use bottom paint, rollers let you paint the bottom while on the trailer.

I've trailer my boat for years but only putting it in in spring and taking it out in fall. And I watch the guys with the bunk trailers as they drive on and it seems that they have more trouble aligning they're boat on the boat trailer then we do on the roller trailers so I think I'll just stick with what I know , thing is any boat I've ever bought that was under 24 feet came with a trailer so I never had to give it much thought, my current boat did not come with the trailer obviously ,So now I'm trying to compile as much information as possible to pick the right one I now know I should have a minimum of 27 ft. And as you guys mentioned the longer trailer is much easier to maneuver.
