I've been searching for a trailer for my 15' Whaler since the original is falling apart. Would this one fit? It looks like the overall length maybe a few feet too long but maybe I can cut the tongue down? What do you guys think?:

That trailer is much larger than a 15 footer needs. The biggest problem is that it is very wide at 93". The 15 foot Whaler is only, what? 68" wide?

You really only want an 80" wide trailer and selecting one with a much greater weight capacity than needed might seem like a good idea but it is not; the boat gets beat up by the stiffer springs. This is why Whaler used to caution against using oversized trailers.
