measurements needed
hello everyone. Happy 4th!! I purchased a "85" commander 268. I purchased the correct rated trailer however I'm not convinced the rollers are going to clear the running gear. anyone have a similiar vessel on the hard who could take some measurements for me?....I dont want to convert to bunk unless necessary. thanks so much.

Hi William,
Congrats on your purchase!
Because your boat has twin inboard engines , it requires a notch back style trailer . Basically a notch back trailers' outboard bunks extend all the way to the transom while its inboard bunks generally terminate fwd. Of the prop shafts.
Heres a picture of a notch back trailer
You can certainly have your trailer's frame modified to acomidate inboard engines. However roller trailers tend to cause more harm then good.
I realize you've already purchased your roller trailer but it might be faster and less expensive to sell it and get a notch back bunk trailer that works for your 268.
Hope this helps.
