    Trailer fit for 2013 Nautique 200

    Hi all. New to the nautique forum. I'm about to purchase this nautique that does not come with a trailer. This will be my first Nautique for me. I've been driving a Malibu for a while. I'm looking for advice on whether my existing Elite Trailer will fit my Nautique. I've spoken to a few people and I can't get a straight answer. I know the hulls are different the nautique is 5 inches wider at the widest point, however, how do I know if this will work?

    Opinions would be helpful. If I need to look to for a different trailer that's fine but I want to rule out my trailer first.

    Thank you

    The 200 hulls are a bitch with trailers. If you get a trailer made specifically for it, it still probably won't fit right. And until you figure out the perfect launch angle it will wear the gel off the chines (and will still wear a bit when you find the perfect angle). Mine you can't float on at all because of the angle required two get it over the wheel connected to the winch, and I have to find the right angle and winch the last few feet, which wears the chines a little every time. My dealer says they invented a fix with a wheel they weld on to the middle section of the trailer to lift the chines at the just the right time during launch and retrieval to eliminate the chine wear, but I have just dealt with the hull wear till now.

    All that said, you won't know till you try, but my bet is you won't like the fit.
