      I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask this but I’ll give it a shot.
      I have a 1955 Crestliner Buccaneer (16-feet long) that rides on a steel pipe homemade trailer of he same age.

      The trailer has seen better days and I would love to find an option for a newer trailer but everything I’ve looked at has been for a bass boat of pontoon or a jet ski and it’s hard finding an appropriate setup for a v-bottom hull.

      any suggestions? It doesn’t have to be vintage but it would be great if it had 12″ or larger wheels so I could make longer trips with it.

          Look on Facebook Marketplace, I see plenty of the proper size for a couple hundred bucks. Try using “old boat trailer” for your search term. Hope this helps.

            thanks.
            I’ve tried out a couple of used trailers but cant seem to get the right fit. I’ll buy one and end up selling it to try to recoup some of my money – never do get what i paid.
            What a hassle.

            My homemade trailer is made out of pipe so it doesn’t provide a good source of reference as far as where bunks and rollers should be (height and width spacing).
            I’ve tried measuring it but there are so many variables it seems almost impossible.
            I even tried a trailer with adjustable bunks where I adjusted them to the correct width but they were on an angle so the height where they support he hull was all wrong.

            I was hoping someone here had a similar boat and found a replacement trailer that worked.
            I’ll try the other sites that were offered as advice.
            thanks!
