Default Trailer Specs

I was looking at Nextrail Aluminum Trailers and they listed as 80" between Fenders and as an option 72" between fenders. Why would that be an option and desirable ? Seems wider would be more stable and also would allow boat lower which would lower Center of Gravity ....

Mike,

Some good points about lower trailers, but my Eagles have both sat high ... I have never had to put my drives in trailer postition, and it's much easier to remove/service the drives at waist level instead of bending over under a swim platform.

Just some other points to consider.

Just seems odd they make you pay more for less room between Fenders ..My 311 came with an Eagle and I agree was nice just to pull on with worring about the Drives ..

Unless you have a low ceiling in your storage building!
