Anyone know if a 242 will fit on a 2008 230 trailer? The motors may be out of the 242 so the weight would be off the back end of the boat for the most part.

@Julian Would you know?
I would think yes, that keel is not that deep.

Probably need to measure the distances....I've never measured....but my guess it it would fit but might be a little close. The other thing to think about will be the weight balance and location of the axles and bow stop. You will likely need to shift these to ensure the right tongue weight.

If you are looking for a 242 trailer, I found brand new at a crazy price. Let me know if you want details.
