You will need to know the weight of the boat including all the extras that are going to be carried in the boat including fuel, water,anchor etc, it always best to allow a small margin, in case situations change

 

Length 

The boat will usually be given the overall length of the boat including overhangs at both ends

In the case of ribs the overall advertised length of a boat will usually include the overhang of the tube at the front and the sponsons at the rear. The main part of the hull that the trailer is supporting is usually about a metre less than the overall length of the boat.

Powerboats and cruisers occasionally have bathing platforms fitted, which overhang the rear of the main hull. It is the length of the main hull that needs to be used when calculating the length of the trailer required. The length of the trailer we quote is the length between bow snubber and rear support on the trailer - as per diagram above.   

 

Generally, the smaller the boat the narrower the trailer, and the lighter the boat. 

 

The most popular type of support are the multi roller supports. We also offer keel rollers with bunk supports

With our own design team we have the flexibility to make trailers in an extremely varied manor.
