Don't give them the dimensions. They'll make it that way and if you're wrong $$$$$
They're the trailer company. Let them make what you need. Let them call Fountain for specs, or whoever.
My '02 38' was dropped off for the original owner at his slip. He never had a trailer. 2 years after that I bought it, called Myco and they built a trailer. When a firm completion date was set I drove from Seattle to Grand Lake of the Cherokee in 30 hours or so and beat the original owner by a couple of hours from returning with the new trailer. He did an 8 hour round trip to get it. The bow stop was a little off but when set it fit like a glove. We loaded it and 30 or so hours later I was home. What a rush that trip was!

As long as we are on this subject. How long is the tongue past the nose of your boat? And how far in front of the transome is the rear wheel? ( do you have trip axels?) I ask this because I believe my trailer was from a 42. And it seems too long and difficult to manuver. Thanks In Advance for you help
2002 38' Lightning
2004 Myco Tri Axle
CL of rear axle to rear of swim step is 7.5'
CL of rear axle to rear of trailer/transom is 5'
CL of rear axle to ball is 33'
Ball to Bea.....Bow is 3'
