Trailer for 170?

[Aquarich]

Can anyone tell me what the narrowest trailer for a 170 would be?  I'd like to get my boat in the garage but it would need to be less than 7'10" wide need some wiggle room, too...  Perhaps this is just a dream...

Thanks,

Rich

I just went and put a tape on my 170 trailer.  It is 8' wide from fender to fender.  The boat is narrower than that so it could fit on a narrower trailer.  The boat may have to sit over the fenders instead of between them for it to work.  That means the boat will have to sit higher up on the trailer making it harder to launch on shallow ramps.  If you don't plan on towing far you  might get away with smaller diameter wheels and tires.....  You may have to have it custom made but it can be done.

I have a aluminum Rolls Trailer and it is 7' 5" from Pole to pole, check out my photo albums for pics

I forgot about that trailer you have Pzart.  I saw it... that is a nice trailer.

Rolls makes a nice trailer - love their axles.  I put one under my 170.

My trailer for my 19-6 is about 7' wide tire to tire. It came with the boat, and its really too narrow but I made it work. The chine of the boat sits above the tires. The boat pretty much towers above the tow vehicle now. I placed the bunks high so I could have good clearance from the wheel fenders, which I never installed. You need to make sure that the boat doesn't sit so high on the trailer that the console won't clear the garage door.

 Here's my trailer, I've been meaning to put fenders on it for years now. Maybe I will one day.

Who knew Rolls Royce was in the trailer business...  It'll go perfectly with my RR Phantom Coupe' tow vehicle.  Now I just need to finish encrusting my platinum throttle with diamonds!  :P  Can anybody suggest where I can find a teak champaign bucket?    

All seriousness aside...thanks so much for all of the replies.  Pzart, Marsh, thanks for the pix..it will really help.  I need to show you pix of her (my 170) when she's in the water...without the trailer, of course.  Building rails for her now and just put in an IPS hatch with removable bucket to fill a 9" seat hole in casting deck put in by previous owner.  I will be installing a small bilge pump to clear the deck when plugs are in(71/72 with 115).  

The trailer I have now is was used on a much bigger SeaRay...760 lbs., tows like a dream but the garage would make it possible to work on her during the winter months here in the Northeast.  She is a bit soft in 2 places...which would be fine if we were talking about my wife, who's now the other woman...  Watching Rickk's et.alii refurbs has made me start thinking... maybe I could do it?  And I have a great mechanic (to help me if I can't) who worked at the plant in Hialeah laying up these boats back in '74 if anybody is in upsate NY and needs someone.
