I purchased a new Karavan trailer, model 2225-39TB. This is a duel axle float on trailer for toons 22-25 ft long. I have a 2010 Bennington model 2250 GCW. The boat is in the water and I don't plan on removing it until fall. I do however want to get the trailer adjusted now. The bunk width can adjusted, and there are 4 "guide-on" posts that can be adjusted front to back, and the entire front stop (with ladder & winch) can be adjusted forward or backwards.
I plan to measure the center distance between the toons so setting the bunk width should be easy. The guide post I can space out like this (1/3 of boat-stern) Post (1/3 of boat middle) Post (1/3 of boat bow ) so the two guide post on each side evenly direct the toon length.
My question is, where do I set the front stop. Should the toons be right at the end of the bunks, or should the toons be forward of the end of the bunk & by how much ?
