2006 Dauntless 220 Trailer Bunk Spacing
Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2021 3:51 pm
I am buying a 2006 Dauntless 220 this Sunday but bringing my own trailer.
I bought a used EZ Loader bunk trailer made for 21-25 foot boats.
I called Boston Whaler and they sent me a few drawings, but nothing that specifies how far apart the bunks should be.
The bow eye to transom measurement is 19-feet 5-inches. which is exactly how my trailer is currently setup.
The measurement from the back of the bunk to the midpoint between the two wheels is 80" which corresponds to the CG of the boat.
Center to center the bunks are 41-inches. I think this will cause the boat to rest between the first and second hull bottom strakes. I don't think I can get the center bunks closer together, but I could make them farther apart.
[Implied question: What is the correct distance apart for the center bunks?]
I had a 25-foot boat on the trailer. The trailer may be fine without changing anything.
