Need a new or used but in good condition trailer for my 13 whaler. Will this trailer fit it, even if it's a jet ski trailer? Or does anyone in the Miami area have one for sale?

Thanks,

I'm pretty confident that it would handle the weight, but that should be on the trailer capacity sticker.
My only concern, looking at the photos, would be if the beam of the Whaler would be too wide for the trailer. It kind of looks like the 13 would be sitting on top of the fenders. Not a good situation.

I thought the same thing. The 13 is so light, so weight shouldn't be a problem. Fingers crossed when I hear back from the seller, it's a nice trailer.

your looking at a jet ski trailer. No, it will not fit your boat.

I tried to fit a 13 Sport on a decent sized JetSki trailer and no dice.
While the trailer would hold the hull it, did it poorly and the axle was to far forward so there was little to no tongue weight. That would have made for a scary trailing situation.
