My trailer right now is not that great, it just has small tires and I am too nervous to pull it at highway speeds, its kinda rough in general. I found a tandem axle trailer about 2 hours away that the guy used to pull an 18 ft boat with, the price is right for me! Would I be able to get my 1652 semi v polar kraft on this?

The boat in the pictures is 18 ft long

The boat is gone and all is left is the trailer.
This is a 21? (from ball to back rollers) tandem axle boat trailer.
Great condition!
It hauled an 18? boat for years.
New axles put under it 6 years ago. Rollers are good.

Features:
4 ? P185 80R13 Tires
21? from front to the back rollers
72? wide from outside the fenders
48? wide inside the fenders
8? wide from outside edge of taillights
79? wide between the upright rollers in the rear
New spindles put on when axles were done.

The only issue I see is no side-side adjustablility for the rollers. You'll have to measure to make sure your boat will sit on them properly.
The come-a-long is a nice touch.

Oops. Passenger car tires.

What are the specs on your boat? This trailer may be overkill, and the suspension may pound your boat if it's a lot lighter than the one the trailer was designed for.

Yes, with some adjustment maybe. twin axles may be overkill for what you need though.
