Just an FYI - The guy selling that boat bought the whole package for the trailer so I don't think he'll sell it unless you give him an offer he can't refuse.

That said, what a waste/shame to gut a really nice ski-machine and part it out because the floor and transom are soft. Even if I needed some of the parts he is selling he wouldn't get any of my money just out of principle.

Those ski machines are cool, too bad someone in the club doesn't run one.

I found a 17ft I/O glastron open bow sitting on an original glastron trailer. I am wondering since a good 18-24 inches of my boat are the extensions in the back around the motor if it would fit on the 17ft trailer? What is an acceptable amount of transom past the end of the trailer?

If it was my boat I would want them flush with the transom, and if they stick past it a little, even better.

The other issue is the axle may end up being too far forward, and the tongue weight too light.  Which means it will tow like crap.

I think this has become an addiction.

I saw that G3 one today. It looks nice, I got excited for a minute!!! The old Glastron specs say it needs to be rated for 2800 lbs. That one is 2200.
