1996 Super Sport Hull Measurements

[supersportfan]

I am new to the forum and am purchasing a trailer for my 1996 Super Sport. My boat is in storage 4 hours from me and I am trying to see if anyone might have a schematic of the hull with measurements or have them available in some form. Any help would greatly appreciated!

Are you looking at used trailers or getting something custom made?

Do you know what measurements you need, may be easier to get details from an existing trailer and copy that.

I have a 96 and can try get anything specific you need this weekend if nobody else can help before then.

Blamey...Thanks for responding and that would be awesome!

I am buying a new trailer...My boat did not come with one. The location of he boat trailer dealer is very far from my boat so he needs the measurements to set-up the trailer to fit the boat as best he can without having the boat.

Below are the measurements he is asking for...and my assumptions why...sorry if it is obvious but I am still learning...

1) Does the boat have center fins and if so, how deep are they from the bottom of the bottom (or from top of the fin) to the bottom of the fin? I assume this is needed to make sure the bunks are set so boat sits high enough as to not damage the fins when loading onto the trailer.

2) Length from Transom to the Bow Eye. I assume this is needed to properly set the wench location on the trailer.

3) Width of the Transom (side to side close to water line). I assume this is needed for properly setting the side supports. He also asked for distance between Transom Tie Downs or "Ski Eye Rings." I have not idea what this needed for and if they are on the boat. I know that my boat has dock lines on some type of railing on the back of the Transom.

4) Distance between Stringers. I assume this is needed for properly setting the bunks.

I realize this is a lot to ask and totally understand if you cannot do it...Just let me know.

I would seriously look into another trailer- something like a Boatmate or a Phoenix or a used Ramlin. There should be no "adjustments" when the trailer is made for the boat. Whatever they are selling sounds like fits all fits none.
Sorry for the not so detailed photos,but these are of my '14 Phoenix built for for my '95. I don't care for the roller on the front,it creates difficulties loading and unloading on steep ramps. This summer I'm going to cut it off and replace with a bow stop which the boat noses into

I've got to agree with this. I'd be concerned with a place making a trailer off my measurements, particularly when there are places that have these specs and have build tons of trailers for the boat.

Also check out Performance Trailer up near lake George in NY. They were the cheapest place I could find to get a new trailer built. I got a single axle for my sport built for $3500 a couple years ago.

Blamey and Gary...Thanks for the additional thoughts. It looks like Performance has gone out of business. I have been looking and doing research for on and off over the past year.

It is a Vantage Trailer for an inboard ski boat...tandem axle, poly sleeves on the bunks, L.E.D. Lights, V members and target bunks with a drop down ski Member in the rear to protect the propeller and shaft, load guides, dual wheel tongue jack, and spare tire for $3,300. It has a carrying capacity of 5225.

Vantage is a brand by Venture based in Baltimore. They have a good reputation for their later models and have a good price point. However it is not a custom build but less than 1/2 the price.

Here is a link to some photos but this is not the dealer I am working with: http://www.diamondmarine.net/2018-Ve...-06512/4147767

The measurements are for the set-up only. I will also have my Marine look t it once I pick it up and get the boat on it. My marine sells this trailer as well but cannot match the price I am getting.

Blamey, I totally understand if it is too much to get the measurements.

Thanks again for the input.

Here you go. Let me know if anything isn't clear. I did my best but my measurements may be out a bit (should mostly be within an inch or so) or so as I didn't have much time.

Transom width at water line 5ft.

Bunks center to center 52"

Center Fins height 5 1/4.

Bow eye to nose is about 20". Subtract from overall boat length from transom of about 19'.

Bunks at transom are 52.5" center to center.

There are no transom tie down eyes. Most use the swim platform brackets. The Swim bracket to braket width is 47".

Blamey, did you put on a new rub rail?

Nope, upgraded my boat instead.
