Boat trailer for a 20' boat?

Private_Island · July 30, 2009, 7:45pm

I put the boat in the lake for the first time today, and everything ran good, but got back to the trailer and realized just how much work the trailer needs now…

Does anyone know of a good trailer for a 20’ boat that weighs in at 1900lb’s before engine fuel etc? Thanks. realizing I may be better off with a new/used one.

I might…Is your bote a fairly shallow draft, like a flats or bass bote?

Private_Island · July 30, 2009, 8:24pm

no… It’s a very deep wellcraft v20… Any chance we could adjust the set up on the trailer?

PI, The one I have is what I would consider a more light weight type frame than I believe you are looking for, and is single axle. You are welcome to inspect it if you wish.

Do you happen to have any pics? I’m up here in Kershaw, SC up above camden. Any idea of the weight capacity? I know a single axle galvanized in the 3500lb. range will handle one of these. Thanks. Craigan.
