Measure with a measuring tape along the center line of the trailer, the distance from the front of the hitch to the center of the back rail of the frame of the trailer. Your boat needs to fit within the space afforded by the trailer.
How are trailers measured?
Trailer outside dimensions are measured from outside of the box. For example, a 7′ X 16′ trailer means that the trailer is 7 feet wide from outside one side of the box to the outside of the other side of the box.
What is the length of a boat trailer?
Maximum allowed trailer length varies state-to-state, from 30 feet to 60 feet. States also stipulate the combined length of the tow vehicle and trailer, which ranges from 50 to 85 feet. If your rig is over-length, you may still be able to tow with an over-size load permit and some restrictions.
