[quote=Dogboy]For the crossbar spacing, I would say you want the trailer crossbars to fall just about directly below the boat crossbars, or maybe just a little bit outside (forward and aft) of the hull crossbars. Trailer length, longer is generally better. The trailer will track more evenly (less chance of fishtailing) and less opportunity for the bow of the boat to contact the tow vehicle when making sharp turns. Plus, you can always cut the tongue shorter if needed.
For the trailer itself, fully boxed frame and crossbars are the strongest. Heavy channel for the trailer frame is OK too, but some trailers are very basic, formed C shape frames that may not be up to the task for heavy loads or long lives. Galvanized steel is best, even if you never plan to dip the trailer in salt water. Look for a fully welded, 2,000 Lb axle. Also check the springs are correct for the weight you plan to haul. Too soft or too stiff can cause problems. 12" wheels for sure.
