Question:

Ive found instructions for this CE48810 trailer and the pictures of Jon Boat example show the bunks extending about 6 inches beyond the back of the trailer. Your pictures for this trailer show the same bunks extending 6 inches beyond the trailer. Is this ok and the recommended position for a 12-foot jon boat on this trailer?

Yes, it is Kevin. That's one of the great features of the CE Smith Multi Sport Boat Trailer item # CE48810. With the included brackets, you're able to orientate the bunks to best accommodate your Jon Boat. Having them extend behind the trailer is going to give you a better center of gravity for securing your boat.

The boards on the CE Smith Multi Sport Boat Trailer item # CE48810 measure 5' long x 4" wide x 2" tall. The trailer itself will support boats up to 12' long that weigh up to 800 lbs so this trailer will be perfect for you.

It's almost that time of year! Where do you plan on headed to once you get the Multi Sport Boat Trailer item # CE48810?
