Dimensions for Conquest23 Trailer

I can probably save about $2500/year by storing and maintaining my CQ23/IO myself, but don't know if the trailer will fit between the side of my house and my neighbor's fence. The opening is 8 1/2 feet, which is the same as the boat's beam, but the widest part of the boat will probably be above the top of the fence. Thanks, Bill

You can view your trailer dimensions by going to the manufacturers website most likely. Most large trailers that I know of are 96 inches total width. Here are the dimensions for a 10,000 pound Trail-Rite Trailer. http://www.trailrite.com/galv_-10000_...00_tan.htm

I was hoping that someone who has a Conquest 23 w/trailer might have that info handy. 96" would probably work. I'll have to see if I can borrow one and try it out. It'll be tricky getting it in but I'll only have to do it once a year. Thanks, Bill Edited by WhalerYo on 09/07/06 - 12:59 PM

Here is a list of many trailer manufacturers that is listed on this site: http://www.whalercentral.com/weblinks...?cat_id=21 I think you will find that most all of the larger trailers are 96 inches overall width. You Conquest doesn't weight more than 10,000 pounds I don't think. The link a gave in my previous post would be a great trailer for a Conquest or maybe even move up to the triple axle. Even the 15,000 pound trailer with triple axles is 96 inches wide. http://www.trailrite.com/galv_-15000_...00_tri.htm

This however means that your boat will end sitting higher on the trailer to fit the wheels under the hull. What ends up happening is this adds the depth needed to float the boat off the trailer and more wind drag while trailering. I would recommend Myco trailers if you end up heading this route. I have always been impressed with every one of there trailers I have ever seen. http://www.mycotrailers.com/ Edited by Jeff on 09/07/06 - 2:06 PM 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive
