Default Trailer Setup
Just bought a new Load Rite 5200# trailer for my 23 CC. The guy that I'm getting it from said that he could set it up for me if I gave him the measurements. I'm hoping that somebody on here has the same setup to help me out. The bunk heights would be the most useful and target if you have one. From the other treads I'm guessing the bunks should be on the middle panel closer to the leading edge of the chine to support the stringers. If you have the measurement for bunk spacing as well that would be great.

The exact model is Load Rite 5200 5 Star Aluminum (5S-AC23T5200102LTB1)

Thnx,
-Chris.

might want to consider a larger trailer, that trailer will be max'd out , i would seriously consider at least a 6k, just my 2 cents, oh and get disc brakes , stainless if you can afford it.

Maxed Out? Figuring 1500# for gas and motor + dry weight is just shy of 4200# leaving 1000# of wiggle room. Is there something else that needs to be considered?

Trailer comes standard with disk brakes, stainless caliper and coated rotor.

Might want to double check the trailer capacity, they are normally "gross weight" which includ2s the trailer's weight. If so, you are right on the limit. Great stuff on the brakes though.

Thanks for the sanity check DonV just confirmed 5200# is max load not gross, so it's in the green.
