| I'm sure somebody has talked about this in the past but couldent find any definite info on it. Can you tell what number and year a trailer is by the id number stamped on the trailer? I'm pretty sure I have a number 3 but wanted to be sure. |

Maybe. If its old enough to have a metal ID plate riveted to it, then the model number may be part of the id. I believe my #2 reads 2-xxxx. The best way to be 100% sure is to post a picture. That along with a few basic dimensions will allow us to tell you which youve got. ------------- |

someone will be able to be more specific but it is a trailer from a mid eighties 2001 model ski nautique. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Ahh, I forgot you were Morfoot's neighbor. I remember seeing that boat when you were considering buying it. That is a '84-87 #3 delux trailer ('88 was the same but had surge brakes as standard equipment). Its meant for a 2001 Ski Nautique hull, which is just shy of 19'. Yes, it is too big for your 'Cuda, which really needs an older #3, meant for a 17-18' hull. ------------- |

TRB does your #2 have a bow stop like the one in my pictures? |

the reason i asked earlier about the stamped numbers i because the last two are 88 and i figured that was real close to the correct time period. |

Are the insides of the fenders open or closed off? 5 or 6 lug wheels? ------------- |

Close, but not quite... see my post above. I believe brakes were standard in '88, and yours doesnt have them. Ive definitely seen some '87's without brakes. First year for the 2001 delux may have been mid-83, but all trailers were like that starting in '84. I believe CC may have gone from 5-lug 14" rims to 6-lug 15" wheels in '86. Most of my #2's and #3's are from the '68-80 vintage and have the lower bow stop. Our '79 #4 has the same type of stop as yours. ------------- |

  so does this one look like a #2 or early #3? |

| 5 lug wheels and the inside of fenders is closed off. |

well i was right about the wheels but i just took a closer look at the fenders and they are open. |

That would make your blue trailer somewhere in the 1983.5-1985 range. That white trailer is a #3 from the late 60's or early 70's... so exactly what you need for your Cuda. ------------- |

Jbear drug the #3 up from Orlando this summer to help him out. Too bad Uncle Todd didn't need a #3 trailer as Lanier is an hour north and Jonathan could get the the boat on its proper trailer. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Yes sir you did... Someone is always needing something somewhere, and there is always somebody here that will step up for someone else!  ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.
