Does anyone have an image with hull dimensions? I am building a trailer and need some info...: From which point starts the hull sloping up? And how long is the sloping part? What is the distance between the hulls (heart to heart) to fix the rollers? Thanks, Tom

I'll be up at the lakehouse tomorrow...I'll take a photo & put dimensions on it.
IIRC keel-to-keel width is 7'.

That is exactly what I needed, thanks!!

Apparently I need to modify my trailer to accommodate for the sloping rear of the hulls, but should not to big of an issue..

I trailer my 5.0 with the rear roller about 6-12" in front of the upsweep:

It seems to balance pretty well there with no waddle or sway going down the interstate. I'm not sure if I have the recommended 10 - 15% of the tow vehicle weight on the tongue or not. The right balance for you may be different depending upon the amount of space you put between the rollers and the weight of your rig etc..
