Author	Topic:   Trailer for 13 ft Sport Classic
Maddog	posted 04-23-2002 03:38 PM ET (US)         I have a Shoreline Trailer with 4 keel rollers and 2 carpeted bunks. The aft end of the bunks are approx 6" aft of the aft keel roller. My question is, where should the transom be located? At the end of the bunk or over the aft keel roller. Any help would be appreciated. Maddog

Born Free	posted 04-15-2003 07:16 PM ET (US)          I recently purchased a new trailer for my 13. Unfortunately, I beleive the trailer is too short. The trailer hardly had any tongue weight. To correct this I moved the boat all the way forward. This fixed the tongue weight problem but now the boat is about 4 inches in front of the aft keel roller. Fortunatley, the boat is primarily supported with bunks. Also the axle is permanent and can't be moved fore or aft. If anyone has a solutuion to this problem I'd be interested to know.
