    will a 285 XL fit on a 295 XL trailer?

    Does anyone know if an older ( 2000 - 2009 ) 285XL will fit on a newer 295 XL trailer and tow ok? thanks

    Depending on what skills you have and toolage you possess or have available, the main issue will be whether the 285 hull width fits between the fenders. Otherwise, proper location of bunks (stanchions) under hull will be next consideration. Not a big deal to cut off and re-weld to keep off the strakes. Length won't be an issue.

    If I could re-manufacture an '89 single axle for a 285, into a tandem that now carries a '95 201 - yours is not a huge challenge.

    If you're asking if you can just plop it on and roll, I doubt anyone can answer that for you. It would require some fine measuring.

    Ok, thanks. I was really asking if a 2012 295 trailer would just roll under and work on a older 285, so I guess it won’t. Appreciate the info
