<p>It wont make much difference as the contact point on the chine will be significantly less than 6'. I'd go with 6" just to keep them lower and out of the way. Just something else to bump into with your shins.</p>

<p>Hey guys I’m finally getting guide rollers welded on. I’m wondering what length roller y’all think would work, 6 inches? 9 inches? I’m copying this design</p>

<p>Ya, with the side guides around the axle area, the boat even on the roughest dirt roads might move 1/4" at most, but for the most part between the winch in the frt and one ratchet strap through the oarlocks, it doesnt move any.</p>
<p>I am gonna add 2 more of the little side guides though between the axle and the rear guides, just behind the fenders. Ive loaded it in some heavy current and wind, the boat got sideways a little and the bottom hit my frame and left a nice mark. 2 more guides…</p>

Ive loaded it in some heavy current and wind, the boat got sideways a little and the bottom hit my frame and left a nice mark. 2 more guides will take care of that. Thats why I asked earlier if the boat fit between the side frames of the trailer, just to make adding some side guides easier.</p>

OK, yeah, you will need some kind of posts at the rear, and some light guides at the axle center line so that the boat will nest right in as you crank the winch

<p>Oh I'm not changing the width, it fits in the garage just fine. At my old place it was the exact width of the garage. Now its got a foot of clearance. I'm going to put the vertical posts on the metal above the lights. Just wanted to post this up so people arent surprised when a 17 54 barely squeezes in.</p>

Have you already decided upon the details of the stops you are going to use to limit side to side movement, they will be needed, because of launching and retrieving. You will need the boat to guide itself on and off the trailer even in slightly off camber angles, or light current. Even if you have good friends they will be reluctant to wade in to guide the boat on.

<p>Looks pretty great to me, except for the wont fit in the shop part. Thats alot of work to change it for a few inches. One other way to narrow it and make room is the height of the bunks. I just used 3/4 or 1" for the height, but 1 1/2-2" would raise the boat a little and make a little more fender room, if you did want to get narrower. That is a wide boat, looks really good!!</p>

<p>Just noticed this last night. </p>
<p>I took these pdfs and a few pictures of drift boats on trailers to a trailer builder in North Alabama, knowing he's got no clue what a drift boat is. Anyway, gave me a great price and built a great trailer. But, since he realized he'd priced it too cheap and was losing money on this(my assumption of what happened) he put his standard axle in which added about a foot of width. Turns out it helped me out way more than I could imagine…</p>

<p>I think the boat would have maybe an 1/2 inch clearance on either side if built to spec. This is a 54 inch bottom. I'd bet a 52 would be great. Anyway thought I'd post this up for people in the future. </p>
