25.5 Trailer specs

[John]

Just bought a used trailer for my Hunter 25.5 (1985) shoal draft. The trailer is a six pad dual axel model. Thought someone might be able to save me some grief and supply some measurements to help me get it set up close to right so I can pull my boat the first time with a little less worry about if I guess the measurements close enough to have few problems. Thanks in advance.

Trailers are going to vary from one manufacturer to another. Your draft is 3'3" so you may have to just guess by determining where the pads will be in relation to the boat and how far apart the pads are related to the beam at that point on the boat.I would definitely recommend having the boat hauled on a travelift and set down on the trailer the first time so you can get the adjustments right. You could do some damage to the boat or yourself by not having the trailer adjusted right while pulling it out at a ramp which by the way is not easy even when the trailer is adjusted right. Good luckDan
