distance between shafts?

Post by garycarroll »

What is the distance between shafts on a 32 (1979)? This is a bit of info that is critical in setting up a trailer, and easy to find if you have a boat on hand. Not so easy working from photos, and not easy to find online!
Looking to do the Big Adventure of moving a newly acquired 32 from Lake Lanier GA to Eastpoint FL. Dock and lift under construction as I write this.

Looking at photos of the hull when pulled, I am guessing about 6 feet center to center shafts. "Guessing" and "about" do not inspire confidence, so if anyone has real data, please let me know.

Thanks. I had bought a trailer from a company that claimed they would make it to fit the boat, and they would get the specs from their own sources. They have the bunks positioned so that will fit. If anyone wants a REALLY nice new trailer, Nextrail will do a good one! About 10k. And they did it in one week.
