trailer not wide enough???

[alan ber]

Was not sure where to post this.
Have never seen any posting regarding a not wide enough trailer.
I could be wrong about my concerns but :
I am concerned about safety issues.
I had to junk my ez loader trailer. Supported a 21 ft sea ray weight 3500 lbs
Apx width of trailer was over 8 ft.

I picked up a temp trailer that holds boat fine except narrow..
Fame width is only 5 ft wide.
Inside measurements wheel to wheel 70 inches.
Considerable difference from my other trailer
Boat width 8 ft
This trailer is designed for a v hull set with rollers on each cross member .
Boat sits Apx 1 1/2 ft over each fender
Should this be a concern? driving down the road

thanks for your advice

Re: trailer not wide enough???

A side and rear view of the setup would certainly help. If you mean the boat hangs 1-1/2 feet sideways over the fender thats one thing. If you mean the boat sits 1-1/2 feet above each fender you have a very dangerous situation due to the high center of gravity and somewhat narrow wheelbase which does not make a good platform. I will assume however that you meant the boat hangs over the fender by 1-1/2 feet outside the frame rail. Still not the best scenario but not a terrible situation. Again, pictures would help.
