trailer

I am looking a a 1980 catalina 25 without a trailer. What kind of trailer would I need to buy to haul this boat?

Catalina 25 weight is around 5000 lbs. so you need two axles and trailer brakes to handle the weight.

Thank you that is great info., since its a fixed keel would I readjust the "support stands to fit the hull?

You would want the keel to rest in some sort of keel tray with most of the keel weight resting on the trailer. The support stands need to be adjusted to hold the boat upright with most of the weight supported by the keel.
