Need To Buy A Trailer For A 2023 R6 Sterndrive

Post by mprovt »

I have a R6 sterndrive on order and looking to buy a Venture Trailer. Can anyone recommend the best set up? Trying to decide between the VATB-7225 and the VATB-8025. I'll only be using it for storage in the winter and launching in the spring and fall. Maybe occasional small trips within a few hundred miles.

Hoping to pick up the boat in May. Bayside blue, white bottom, black stripe, caramel carbon int, white arch w/black Bimini, volvo 380hp, windlass, bla, bla, bla. :)

Thanks for your help!

No pics yet.
She's in production now and should be at the dealer in April.
No boating in my area until May.

Need to add the weight of the boat and engine, weight of fuel when full. weight of water when full. Total it up and then add 10% for personnels.
If you are ordering a winch you will need to purchase a bow stop.

Hey Mike. No help with your question but your color selection on your new boat is most excellent. I also have a new R30 coming and I have exactly the same exterior and interior colors ordered. I can’t wait to take delivery. How did you choose your colors?

Acercpilot-yes great color combo. Your R30 is a beautiful boat! Might be my next boat in a few years. My boat just arrived at the dealer a couple of weeks ago. I haven't been to see it yet (2 hours away) and don't plan on picking up until May.

I ended up ordering a VATB-7225 with a bow stop, target bunks, guide poles, alloy wheels, and spare tire on a mount. That's what the dealer and Venture recommended.
