Thanks
Since the winch stand on most trailers are adjustable, there is no set bow to eye distance.
On my trailer, the point of the bow is about 3” away from the ladder. I have a mark on the strap that I use to make sure the boat always sits in the same spot.

I think he's looking from the transom to the bow eye measurement so he knows if the trailer he's going to buy will fit? Or to build a trailer?
That measurement doesn't change.

Sometimes when I read things, it just doesn’t make it all the way into my head, like the date of that post for instance...🤣

I really dig the "Extreme" brand trailers. The Cobalt dealer here in AZ uses them and they are well built and look beautiful. Thats what will be used for our new boat.
