Hello,

I did not get a trailer with my 16, I leave it at the beach. However I would like to bring it home, so I'm looking at used trailers that could be converted to a cat trailer. I'd like to know how long the trailer tongue is on a typical trailer, more specifically the distance from the axle to the coupler.

I found a jet ski trailer, they want 400$, I don't mind paying that if it's the right length, but my cost will go up if I have to lengthen the tongue.

Thanks,
Marc...

Marc,

My trailer measurments are as follows:
From center of axle to center of coupler is 13' 3"
From center of axle to center of front support with rollers is 2' 10"
From center of axle to center of rear support with rollers is 3' 0"
Length of the axle is approximately 4' 4" (hub to hub)

Hope this helps

Helps a lot. Now not only I know what to look for, but I also have the measurements for the necessary mods.

Thanks,
Marc...
