height on trailer
Been looking into a 31 lately and was wondering if anyone had measured the height/length/width of theirs on the trailer. The garage I have available to me has an 11' wide by 8' high door and the bay itself is 15' wide and 43' deep with about 10' ceilings. It would be under a house that we are finishing. Thanks in advance

The trailer does dictate the overall height of the boat/trailer combo. When I had mine on a Manning trailer, the height was well over 8'. My current trailer is from Owens and sons. The boat sits lower. I could tape it off to see what the overal height is.
Gary (Feline) is correct. 9' wide.
Look on the Owen and Sons web site, custom pics of trailers and look for the Spectra on the twin axle trailer. Pic shows what the trailer looks like, minus the outdrive extension. See how low the boat sits on the trailer.

Prostock, Here ya go.
Height: 7'9" (currently no windscreen on race fairing)
Trailer max width: 8'10"
Length: unknown since I have the outdrives currently off the hull.
Disclaimer: Gary and other Awesome owners are correct in their dimensions. There are several different trailer manufacturers for our type of hull. As I stated previously, the trailer makes the difference. Hell, you could have the same trailer but have different wood bunk dimensions.

Now to find a boat.. (the 94 I liked in the classifieds is gone)
Any ideas as to weight on steel vs aluminum trailers as well? I'm selling my truck and looking for a diesel (used) and want to make sure I'm within the trucks limits.

I have an '08 Dodge cummins 2500. It pulls my cat no problem with a steel trailer.
The boat came from Arizona and was towed all the way to Detroit with the same truck! That was over 2100 miles

I have a 96 Suburban with a 454 vortec, think the same motor.
I pull around town with the Suburban (4x4). need the 4x4 for the wet ramp.
Motor has more power then needed. I have 500,000 klm on mine & she does not take oil,
GAS?, well thats another story.
When pulling on the highway I pull with a Ford550 7.3 diesel.
Much better on gas.
But, love my suburban & checked to change for a new & decided to keep mine,. (great truck, just hard on gas, but will pull the boat no problem.)
Have fun & make sure your tranny cooler is fine & not blocked,. (been there)
