Any one know what kind/size trailer i would need for an 18' seacraft cc. I just bought it the other day and the trailer is in bad shape.

New-Used...I dont care. I live in so Cal any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ken(Lurch)

I have a continental galvanized single axle, about the biggest (I think) they make in two wheel. Think it is good up to 5,000 lbs. the 18 hull is about 1600 lbs, engine call it 400-500 lbs, gas (48 Gal) about 300 lbs. Add in other gear and you are close to 3,000 lbs trailered. This is a heavy 18. You can see the trailer on the boatzone. It is wide -- but works well.

One other question. Do they build the trailers to fit your boat(I mean by puting in the bunks or rollers in) or is this something that you do yourself.

Sorry for the stupid question, I have never had a boat on a trailer before. My boats have alwas be to big.

Many "off the shelf" trailers can be adjusted by the trailer dealer/manufacturer to fit different boats. However, some trailers are intended for deep-v hulls and some are intended for boats with other hull shapes.
If you are not really familiar with trailers, I would avoid buying a used one from some guy in the paper who assures you that it will fit your boat!

I'm not sure what SoCal trailers cost, but you can get single axle trailers on the east coast brand new for about $1400 that will be ideal for a SC18 - at least that is what I paid for a new Load-Rite last year.

You can easily adjust the rollers and bunks on any trailer. My cross bar in the stern has a slight "V" to it, and rollers all up the middle that you can adjust up or down 3-4". I have bunks on either side that adjust easily. If you buy new, they will most likely adjust the fit for your boat.

I purchased a Pacific trailer through the Boat House of Anaheim for my 23'Sceptre. Pacific Trailers in Chino built it to spec. and I love it. Mine is overkill but they have all sizes and types. Web site: www.pacifictrailers.com

Let me know if you need more info.
