long shot but I'll ask before I drive 4 hours
« on: January 09, 2020, 02:50:25 PM »
Boat isn't by me (1985 CVX18) to measure bunks on my trailer and I bought my first lift..... it will go into water likely before i see boat unless I drive

anyone know bunk width required to get them into the tracks? even a close starting point would be nice

Few days earlier I could have given you some measurements off my '85 18 but it left my garage 1/6 for winter storage.

Any reason you can't adjust the bunks while the lift is in the water? I bought lifts for a fishing boat & sail boat last summer. Adjusted the bunks on both while they were in the water.

I have a 79 cvz which I believe is the same Hull as the cvx.  Both trailers use 2x4 bunks, are you looking for the dimension between the bunks at the transom?

The bunks are 27" apart, inside to inside edge.  Add 3.5" to that if you want the centerline of the bunks.

That will get me close... docks and lifts go in the water in May. Its deep and cold. Bunks were off the lift I bought so had no idea....
