Baller keithh2oskier Posted October 18, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2018 Does anyone know if a Nautique 196 will fit on a carbon pro trailer? I am looking to move to a single axle on the cheap and looking at used options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbutcher Posted October 18, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2018 Some friends of mine put a 2009 SN 196 on a 2016 Carbon Pro single axle trailer for a very short haul. I don't know if it supported the boat properly, but it must not have torn the fins off or done any visible damage to the boat or trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller keithh2oskier Posted October 18, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted October 18, 2018 @dbutcher Do you mind asking how well it supported the boat? I would be looking to have this as a permanent trailer if it could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jmoski Posted October 18, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2018 In looking at the spec’s of a 2015 CP it appears to have the same width/beam 91”, and is slightly longer and requires more draft. Hence if the hull shape isn’t radically different I bet it would work assuming you can adjust the bowstop back a bit so it’s centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skimtb Posted October 18, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 18, 2018 Another option is to get it and take to local trailer shop and pay them a few bux to adjust the bunks. Or at least find one and get $$ estimate to modify. I would think it wouldn’t be much to change to make it perfect. But I would assume there will be some, if it is your long term plan.

Baller dbutcher Posted October 19, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2018 @keithh2oskier I will ask. The 196 owner is a baller. Maybe he can post. I'm guessing that the bunks would have to be modified. The hull bottom of the Carbon Pro looks really flat at the stern. A 196 has a slight angle on the bottom. It's likely that the CP trailer bunks would not be in full contact with the 196 hull at the stern (or going forward?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
