Converting a trailer. Will they fit?

[AdrenalineChick92]

I have a 8ft wide 14ft long flat bed trailer and I am looking to convert it. I was wondering if 2 sx 650s and an X2 would fitt side by side? The 2 650s fit side by side with space, so I believe I would be able to fit the X2.
Any Suggestions ?

If they don't fit normally you can definitely make it work... I made a tiny jon boat trailer work with 2 stand ups with some modification. The ski's hang over the wheels a tiny bit but it works.

If they don't fit side by side, why not put one in front of the other two?

What he said, but if you try to squeeze all 3 side-by-side, make sure you leave plenty of room between them. It sucks when the skis rub on eachother on the trailer. Stuff moves around a lot more than you'd think it would.

I did it a few years ago with a GSXL, Superjet and an SXR. I was within 1/2" of legal width but ended up overweight on my tires. I moved one ski up to the trailer tongue to put more weight on the hitch.

I had a good inch between all the skis.

Cake.

I put a SJ, a 550, and an XP side by side on our trailer.

The trick was to put the XP on the outside, and raise the 2 outside skis about 6" higher then the middle.

X2 Rags and I bought and converted this old boat trailer. Holds 4 skis and then some. It's also 20' long, but you get the idea. This is the way to go if you want the most ski's in the smallest space.

A 20' trailer can easily hold 6 skis.

Assuming only 2 (or less) of the 6 are sit downs.

yeah it could for sure, but this way there is room for the tool box, beach cart, gas cans, and has even carried a keg :beerchug:

I thought that's what the footwells are for. :joke:

Depending on what trailer you have you have to raise the outside skis slightly to sit above the wheels a little , I am currently converting a 8 wide shorelander to hold 3 standups and a blaster with Blaster in the middle 2 standups on outside and another one infront

Thanks for the ideas! The only reason I want to put all 3 side by side, is when we move them to Texas the trailer is going to haul all 3 skis plus the 2 bikes in front. After the move it’s just going to be just the 3 skis, so I won’t have to worry about space.
