Is there any hope for this trailer with this boat?

[QUOTE="pmshoemaker, post: 435096, member: 22228"] Is this trailer too short to be useable? Another user remarked that this trailer is way too short for my new project boat. I thought that once it was wound tight up onto the trailer that it would be close to flush on the rear end, but I was wrong. As you can see, the transom overhangs about 25" . It was such a hassle finding a trailer with a title that I could afford that I really want to make this one work, but it obviously is too short in its current form. The bow post should probably be replaced anyway, so I was thinking I could get a new one and install it forward of where the current one is to get me a few inches there, and then install bunks that overhang about 18" beyond the rear of the trailer frame to support the transom. Can I make this work? [/QUOTE]
