Trailer Needed for Adventure 208

reconfiguring the bunks isnt a difficult job. have you considered diy?

Yes. For someone that has done this before, it's less than a 2-hour job. Certainly not expensive. For someone doing it themselves, that has never done it, it would just take a little longer.

Adjustable trailers (non-fixed bunk supports) are more common than a full custom trailer.

If you have a trailer where the bunk supports as well as support parts are welded to the frame, most likely the trailer was custom for a specific boat. Often times these trailers have the boat manufacturers name on the trailer itself.
If your trailer has welded supports it is not worth it to try and change the setup assuming the setup doesn't work for your hull.
Sizing and setting up a trailer for the 208 hull is not complicated since the hull is relatively small and not very heavy.
A single axel trailer could work but I suggest a dual axel.
The bunks should be spaced to rest under the stringers. For your hull the stringers are spaced 30 inches apart and 58 inches apart. The wider spacing is what to check. The hull should be initially set so that the a point 80 inches measured from the aft transom lines up centered between the two wheels.. A 4700 pound rated trailer is OK but if you have a hard top and trailer with a lot of fuel and gear, you may want to go up in capacity.
So measure your current bunk spacing and if it lings up with the spacing above and offset from the transom, you will be in decent shape.

I'm not a welder. The used trailers I've seen have permanently welded angles, not adjustable angles. So, DIY would be a disaster for this guy! LOL

understood. you could cut the old ones off with an angle gringer (wear a mask if cutting galvanized) and then get bolt on bunks. id probably only go this route if you got a really good deal.

like said above, adjustable bunks are far more common than fixed.
