R31 trailer

[Jon]

Question, will an r31 fit on an R29 trailer? If not where can I buy one?

From the spec sheets on the Ranger site you are looking at a weight of around 14,000lbs for the 29 and 15,000lbs for the 31. That assumes fuel and water tanks are full. I believe that the boat should be no more than 80% of the trailer capacity. You are going to need some serious vehicle towing capacity to haul it. Don't forget to add the trailer weight for maximum towing capacity. I guess the answer to the question depends on what is the capacity of the trailer under the 29.

Newshoes,
Thanks for the reply. I already have an R29 with a trailer that I tow with an F350 ford diesel. I looking to sell the R29 and looking to purchase an R31. Wondering if I can use the same trailer.

While your trailer may take the weight, the 31 is longer - ya, ya, I know - doh :mrgreen:
The issue here is having the prop hang out past the rear cross member. When you bottom out on a sloping driveway, or whatever, the cross member needs to be directly under the prop and not let it strike the ground.
90% of the trailers I see do not protect the prop from this kind of a strike.
