Need help figuring out if this trailer will work with my Maristar
First off, I am new here but not new to forums, I have been on many and have been learning lots from this site for the last few weeks..

I am trying to buy a 1995 MC Maristar 205 with LT1 motor. It is in a lake and does not have a trailer. I am having trouble finding a trailer that will work for sure, boat is 2 hours away and in the water with a rock and dirt/mud ramp in yard. So I do not want to have to back the truck into the yard and adjust the trailer if at all possible..

Local MC dealer has a 2007 Malibu trailer in red but they want $4800!!!.

I found this one, it is a 2005 Venture dual axle with brakes and 5000lb limit for $1200 but it is set for a fishing boat..

Can I adjust it to make it work for my boat? I have read that most any trailer can "work" to get the boat out of the water if needed but I need to drive 2 hours to get it ( then back) and I will be keeping it at my house so it will be in and out of the water weekly at least..

So, anyone know if I can get it to work? I would think rollers are better than wood and carpet but most MC trailers I see do not have rollers..
thanks!!!

You are getting the right answers. You might get the boat on the trailer, but you would lose all the decorations from the bottom of your boat. Too bad, that is a good price for a pretty decent looking trailer.

Sorry to say, but not the right trailer for the job. Leave that one for the fisherman.

OK, so I have been looking for a trailer still.. I found this one..
It had a 19' Carolina Skiff on it which looks like a flat bottom fishing boat but it has an outboard motor..

Think this will work for my MC Maristar?? I am thinking not because it is missing the front runners like most MC trailers have but I thought I would ask the pro's here!!.

still not going to work. You have fins, prop and rudder that will not agree with the crossmembers of that trailer.
