Supra Sunsport Trailer measurement question

[lively]

I'm super jealous!! Wanna trade??

i got lucky .. with this one it had all that front stuff welded on before i just extended the supports , but if you look at my thread in the earlier pics and see what it is now .. man lol ..... its just rustoleom black gloss x10 can , and i sanded it down with my da sander .. new pine bunks with fresh carpet ... yours looks great man ! did a hell of a job ! and i like how your bunk brackets are long , sure you have 4 lags at least ?

I dunno if this is still helpful at all, but I was up at the lake over the weekend so I took some pictures of the bow stop





Also, I really hope that's a reflection on the hull, 'cause I don't remember having a massive scratch there

[QUOTE=matt k;73613]a sunsport is just a closed bow comp, right?

No - A Comp is closed bow, open bow version of a Comp is a Conbrio I think. The Sunsport is a deeper boat with higher freeboard and an open bow. The closed bow version of the Sunsport is a Marauder.

Here's a side shot of my Sunsport. The engine is slightly forward of the front axle. This set-up rides really nice behind a half-ton pickup, truck sits level and rides great.

oh, yeah, that's a much deeper boat than mine, thanks for the correction

I agree with lively. If u have a welder get some steel and modify that trailer. I bought a trailer for 500 and cut the back out and welded in a guard. It shouldnt take more than a few hours, including paint. Save ur $ for more upgrades on the boat!

Thanks for all the pics guys, here is a pic of what I am wokring with. I know it is super sketchy. I plan on moving up the axels, then also moving up the rear cross support, building some bunks, alignment polls and a better bow stop.trailer.jpg

Thanks for everyone’s help. I was able to do a temporary fix. I moved the axles up 15 inches to correspond with Michael's measurements. I also widened the rear rollers to give more room for the prop. It is soooooooo much better now. The lounge weight is just right around 300-400. Could not be happier for the moment. Next step is the brakes. They have not worked since I got the boat in February. I opened the master cylinder reservoir, and it was toast. Full almost to the top with chunks of rust. I would really rather rebuild it but I think I will just pick up a new actuator. Then on to converting to bunks. Baby steps, lol..

Sounds like you got it to where you can at least use it without too much worry!

Post up some more pics when you get some time so we can see your work.
