Like New Boat Trailer - Dual Axle
That would probably work with some adjustments. I would want to know how much the axles are rated for; for certain. They could be 3500 lbs axles (more common) or 3000 lbs, axles (less common).
You may need to replace the wood supports to be higher and/or cut an angle for your hull.
I would also suggest adding these to that trailer; front V-bunk supports:

Depending on what tools you have at your disposal, you may look into just buying a new trailer. Most of the time, the selling dealer will adjust it to fit your boat as part of the sale, or for a small additional fee.

Thanks sydwayz, I'm starting to see what I need to be looking for. That trailer sold already which I figured would happen. I'll keep posting when I find some more trailers. I wish I could swing a new trailer right now... but I will have to settle for used. I don't mind putting a little work into one but want something that is definitely a solid base.

That might be a decent platform to start with, but that's it; I'd start over with all new bunks and bunk hardware with that trailer, and that bow stand is not all that great either. Check out some pics on this thread:

Nothing beats the bow catch/winch stand of the Myco and the adjustable one shown there. Second would be a big wide roller.
Have you priced a new trailer? A new aluminum or galvanized bolt together trailer ought not be that bad, couple grand maybe.

I ended up picking up the trailer pictured above. I put on new hardware, new roller in place of the catch, 4 new radial tires, and a new winch. The trailer has good tight bearings and electric brakes. I got it all set on the trailer and I'm happy with the new setup.
MPtrim, not sure what you are seeing, I double checked the reciever and all looks good.
Thanks for the help sydwayz and everyone else.
