Recently purchased a 2014 25SC without a trailer, and then purchased an EZ loader trailer that was built for an RT-27.
Now I would like to arrange the bunks to match my 25SC so I can load it up and head to Lake Havasu for the winter.
Does anyone know where these measurements can be found or possibly have that info on file?
It’s starting to get cold. Thanks all.
 
If a classic R27 (diesel) was on the trailer you should be OK with the way the bunks are set up, basically the same hull.
When I bought my 2010 25SC and later bought a trailer for it I used the bunk dimensions that an R27 owner gave me. I later
moved the bunks out more to lower the boat on the trailer.
I'm out of state otherwise I would measure the bunks for you. Perhaps someone has access to their trailer and can take measurements for you.
 
Huck,
I had to modify a EZ Loader trailer that was built for a C28 to an R27C. I contacted EZ Loader in Spokane and they sent me the drawings for the R27C. I did have to purchase some new bunk vertical supports as the bunk heights and lengths were quite different. EZ Loader staff were very helpful. I'd encourage you to check with them.

I agree with Brian that the bunk locations are probably just fine because the hulls are nearly the same. The R27 is longer by two feet however, so you will need to move the winch stand back a foot to keep the weight ratio correct over the axles (adjust as necessary to achieve the desired tongue weight). You also need to cut a foot off the back end of the rear bunks avoid damage to the trim tabs if accidentally left down when retrieving the boat.

Thanks for all of your responses to my queries. I contacted EZ Loader and they emailed me some specs, but not specifically for my 25SC. Also, engineers apparently have a secret language that only other engineers can understand.
Unless I hear differently I will go with the suggestion that the established bunks arrangements SHOULD be fine. I will center “Tryst” over the axles, pull her up the ramp while paying close attention to the bunks. Then, if all goes well, measure the tongue weight and then adjust if necessary. Wish me luck!!
