23 Sceptre OAL of boat. Trailer settings

Gents
Does Anyone have trailer settings they could provide to help me have the bunks set for my new boat ? Also, I see that the centerline length is 23.4 feet. Is that from the bow eye to transom ? Any measurements would be appreciated, I am having a trailer made in St Pete next week. Thanks

Bow eye to transom is 21.5'

Also, I set the rear bunks 46" apart, works good.

Thanks!!!!!
That's exactly what I was looking for. Inside or outside 46"? I know that little difference doesn't matter probably. Do you like for the bunks to stop short of transom a few inches? I know it really doesn't matter but just curious.

42" is ID or 46" center to center.

My back bunk stops right at the transom. But my trailer is made for a 24' boat. See below pics.

23 Sceptre. Single 260 YB yanmar diesel with 100 gallon tank should still put me around 4500-5000 pounds? I'm guessing a 6000 pound trailer rated for 5200 pounds will do. 5 lug double tandem axle. That is a nice trailer you got there, what's it rated ?

My new trailer is indeed a 5 lug, 14" wheel design and has a GVWR of 7,400#. The trailer weighs 1,100#, so the carrying capacity is 6,300#. I believe my outboard version of the 23' Sceptre weighs in at approx 4,500#
