Trailer outside dimensions are measured from outside of the box. For example, a 7′ X 16′ trailer means that the trailer is 7 feet wide from outside one side of the box to the outside of the other side of the box.

What size trailer do I need for a 24 foot boat?

A 24 foot pontoon boat requires a 21- 27 foot long trailer. Choose a trailer with a number of axles that can accommodate the weight of your pontoon boat. A single axle trailer can carry up to 2,250 lbs. A dual axle trailer can carry 2,250 lbs to 4,800 lbs.

How much overhang can you have on a boat trailer?

Note that on boat trailers the length of the front load carrying area is often difficult to define, so the maximum allowable rear overhang of 3.7 metres will normally apply.
