New trailer and Hull specifications

[Jfrano]

Hi,

I have an order in with Loadmaster to customize an aluminum trailer for my 2017 R29CB. They need more detailed specifications on the hull to build it. The document on this site showing Starboard and head on view is insufficient . Is there anything more detailed.

Thanks

I can't help you with dimensions but I will advise to get exact locations of thru hulls. Lesson learned here. The custom trailer I purchased was supposed to be built to exact dimensions of another C26 which fit perfect I'm told. When I purchased and received my trailer I found that that port side marine air unit thru hull was laying on the trailer Bunk, Starboard engine thru hull was laying on the bunk and stainless steel keel shoe was laying on the Axel crossover member. I talked to the owner of the trailer manufacturer and he said I have built more then one trailer for Cutwater boats and used the same drawing and not had this issue.

Both marine air thru hull and engine sea-strainer thru hull were on the bunks port and starboard.



I was priming the Stainless steel keel shoe when I noticed this. The keel shoe mounting bolts was laying on the cross over member,


Both issues were taken care of by the trailer company. Both issues I didn't notice right away. The thru hull bunk issue I noticed a couple weeks after owning the boat. The keel shoe I had towed the boat a few thousand miles like that. Neither did any damage. Use this experience to make sure all dimensions are correct.

We just purchased a custom aluminum trailer for our 2015 Cutwater 30 S. We ordered the trailer from ACE Trailers in FL. We overbuilt the trailer (18,000 lb, electric over hydraulic brakes, extra heavy duty tires, composite fenders, and twin jacks. They were very responsive to questions and designed and buildt the trailer to accommodate the through hulls and keel/rudder.

We were able to purchase the trailer for under 9k delivered to OH.

Good luck with your search.
