Gonna be real tight, probably no way to be certain without measuring. A #3LB likely won’t fit, but a standard #3 should come in just under 8’, so depending on the door trim, it’ll be a game of inches.

In case you don't get it measured or if you want an idea what it will probably be for width, here's a comment from TRB buried in an old trailer thread 
I'd put a link to the old thread, but it's kinda mind boggling especially without the pictures that disappeared.

Well I did remember to measure and the trailer I have is 90” wide to the outside of the fenders. Somewhere along the line a different axel was installed and it does sit outside the fenders a touch. If the door is 8 feet wide mine would have 2” of clearance on each side. Keno is spot on again!

I just read this again and I'm not sure whether it's a standard; I've never seen this trailer before. It's a CC trailer, but has a v-shaped floor between the two bunks and a keel guard, I don't know if that design is wider. Trying head up there asap to measure. |

That would be a delux, I believe- and built on a lowboy frame. The trailer is likely wider, as the boat fits between the fenders.

You're probably right. It didn't look doable when I saw the door. Better to realize this now though. Thanks

On the older trailers the trailer guides can also be bowed out due to hits over the years. They might stick out more than the fenders.
