Trailer size for Mac 25?

Post by Duck »

Hi all. At wits end here trying to buy a 80"s 25. Perfect one, nut job stood me up twice. See a nice one without trailer and have no clue what to look for. ANY info would be greatly appreciated.

On the 25 the trailer bunks run for/aft unlike the water ballasted boats. Most of the ones I have seen have the bunk supports ending about three feet from the aft of the boat. Mine boat is supported by a power boat trailer that was for a 19ft boat. It has side rails and is so easy to line up when pulling the boat out of the water

Thanks Bob. I'm going to make a cash offer today on one that is pristine, trailer included. He pulled the ad, then posted again last evening, so maybe the old coot is ready to sell. I hope, hope, hope. 8)
