[Rhodes22-list] Trailer Measurements (was "I Hate My Trailer")

[Jim Connolly]

>From the front of the axle tube to the rear edge of the cross member at the 
front bunk support post - 46"

>From the rear edge of the cross member at the front bunk support post to 
the rear side of the vertical winch support post - 104 1/8 "

Also attached is a photo of the boat as properly loaded by Elton on the 
trailer.  Note that the aft lifeline stanchion is over the axle, and (with 
the trailer level) there is approximately 4" of space between the bow stop 
and the bow.  While launching the boat, I observed the stern float up, the 
bow drop relative to the bow stop, and the space close up when the trailer 
was in launch/recovery position in the water. 



I believe Elton told me that he recently had Triad move the axle aft, but I 
don't recall how much.
