R6 trailer bunk width and depth of boat in the water

Post by lespaulrob »

Hi all,

As I prepare for the arrival of my R6 Surf, does anyone have the widths of the trailer bunks? I need to adjust my boat lift and was hoping to do that well before the boat arrived.

Also, how far down in the water does the keel go? My lift has a center bar that sits 26" below the surface and I *think* that's enough to clear it, I wanted to confirm. I know the draft of the boat with the trim up is 30" so I won't be backing in for sure. :)

I contacted Cobalt directly and they emailed me a CAD drawing with all trailer spec needed for my 262.

The surf trailer we did sat 3 1/2 higher in the bunks compared to a non,and was 2 inches lower in skeg clearance.
It’s not just the bunks it that bar you mention. She may need to go up.

Baby steps and always full trim when you lift her up
