My 1987 Montauk sat on a trailer that was approximately 20' (from coupler to rear). The trailer should have at least 2 cross bars. The transom of the boat should sit directly over the rear crossbar. You want a rating of approximately 2,000 lbs.
My trailer was wide and the boat sit inside of the wheels which I prefer. Some acceptable trailers are a bit narrower and sit on top of the wheels. Torsion axle rides smoother than springs. A bit more money.
I like Load Rite brand but there are many good brands. What area of the country are you in? Do you trailer a lot or just periodically?
