Hello everyone out there. Me and a friend of mine are fixin to invest in another boat:dance: My question is how difficult could it be to alter a trailer for a 25` to fit the 27`? Probally lots of variables but a little advise could be a lot of help. It is a 1985 model boat with an "older trailer" Just trying to get an idea. Thanks I`ll be excited to hear all comments.

My biggest concern would be whether or not the trailer could be upgraded enough to handle all the extra weight of the 27'er.

It is supposed to be an older heavy duty trailer, Still trying to get pics or info on it I am thinking that with the draft being the same it should not be a big deal

Any one know the approx weight of a 22 swing keel, a 25 swing keel and a 27 fixed? Catalina could not even give me an idea.:cry:

Our C27 on it's trailer, equiped and loaded for cruising, weighed in at 9000lbs. The trailer itself weighed 1650.

With that weight, you are looking at a 3/4 ton truck. Diesel would be better than gas if doing lots of driving.
