1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

I took measurements and it is 18' long, and has a frame width of 60". What weight capacity should I be looking for? Is there better size I should be looking for my trailer? Would the one linked below suffice or is it too small? I planned on adding a foldable tongue which could get me the extra length I need. http://powersportsnetwork.com/enthusi...Code=60024 EDIT: Fixed link Edited by Joe Kriz on 01/07/12 - 2:03 PM 1981 15' Custom powered by 2005 Yamaha F60

Be sure to get a galvanized one as the salt water will wreak havoc on anything else. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker

I don't remember the weight of a 15, but it's in a number of threads here that you can find with Search. Seems like 350 or so. Motor is a couple hundred more, Gas plus spare gas plus tools, cooler, anchor, skis, fishing gear, trolling motor, whatever all else, plus for me it's SCUBA gear, and pretty soon you're looking at 1500 lbs or more. That's not "boating" weight, it's "transportation" weight. And Cliff beat me to it - galvanized is the cat's meow. .02 Ted 1985 15' CC, 1994 60 hp Merc (Wednesday built), 5" jack plate

I picked up a brand new 13 foot trailer for my "86 13 and it works great and looks the part. I had to adjust the bunks a little. The dealer charged me $700.00 in Newport Beach, CA

Once the boat gets some work done I would like to have 2 rollers welded onto the crossbeams. 1981 15' Custom powered by 2005 Yamaha F60
