need trailer specs/photos for Hunter 23.5

I am in the process of buying a Hunter 23.5. The storage location on my property slopes away from the house, so I plan to build up the area with conder blocks. I need dimensions on trsiler length, wheelbase, axle location, etc. so i can prepare the space. There is a lot of information about the boat but I can't seem to find specifics of the trailer. Any help would be appreciated.
HUNTER 23.5 - sailboatdata
Thanks for the quick post. I'm tight on space across the beam, so an important measurement is the fore and aft location of the axle.
Crazy Dave Condon
Plan for four bunk board supports for each bunk board. Also make sure the bunks are tall enough to make sure ceterboyis not being pinched between hull and keel tray when boat is on trailer make sure for safety 10% of total weight of boat and trailer is at or on tongue suggest posting your response under hunter small boats. Also go to site boat info for hunter 23.5 and look up owners to see if a boat is located nearby to ask if you could come over to inspect a trailer
Hi @Crazy Dave Condon He is not trying to buy a trailer. He recently bought a boat, has not taken possesion yet and wants to build a parking pad for the boat. He needs to build the pad because his parking spot is sloped. But he also does not have the boat yet so he wants to dimensions of the trailer so he knows how deep to build the pad. He needs the tongue to clear while the wheels are still on the pad.
Rgranger...you understand completely what I need to know. The location of the the axle appears to be about centered on the trailer front to back. The pad will be laid out front to back, starting at the axle.
Sorry about that. Follow my advice on contacting 23.5 owners listed under boat information and post under Hunter owners small boats too
Thanks. BTW...I've tried two browsers and none of the photos will display on the Hunter 23.5 mods. Any suggestions?
If you're building the pad just sit the wheels of the trailer on it then it only needs to be 9 feet wide because much wider than 8 1/2 feet would require a special permit on most roads and most 24 foot boats do not require a special permit to be towed. Figure 16 feet from the hitch of the trailer to the center of the back wheel even if you have tandem wheels. That would be big enough even if it was parked on a Cliff of course backing up and stopping in time would be critical but wouldn't provide easy working access.
When storing your boat as described be cognizant that it is not at all unusual for the locker in the cockpit or in the cabin of the boat to collect water and make the boat stern heavy. The boat subsequently will tilt down raising the tounge of the trailer up in the air. On the stock 23.5 trailer the back bottoms out and raises the tounge about two feet. If there is nothing for the back of the boat or trailer to rest on the tounge will keep climbing. If there is going to be a drop off at the back of the trailer you will want some sort of support to keep the boat and trailer from tilting too far back.

THANKS That would be big enough even if it was parked on a Cliff of course backing up and stopping in time would be critical but wouldn't provide easy working access. NOT A CLIFF, but the slope does drop off 12 inches per foot moving back and 8 inches per foot along the long side. Click to expand
LloydB: Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll build z brace to prevent the tilting problem. As for access...there is a ladder on the trailer and I can set up another alongside.
Rgranger: the math exercise was really interesting. It's good to see how you worked through the problem, but the results are far more precise than I'll need. Tying down the hitch is probably a good safety idea to keep the boat stable while working on it. I expect to lay down a pad that's about 18x10, built up at the back and on one side to compensate for the terrain. A ladder alongside to starboard will be my primary entry point and I'll be sure to tilt back the trailer a few degrees. Thanks again.

Thanks for your input.
On the build up of fill , make sure it is compacted. to keep boat from tilting backwards, Simply put a long treated 2X4 underneath the rear cross beam of the trailer and then build up with other treated lumber. Then jack the front of trailer up till it sits on the treated lumber with boat tilted backwards. Then place blocks behind both tires. You have stabilized the boat, keep it from movingbackward and allow water to drain off

Frequently asked questions
More parts online every day
Guaranteed to fit, popular searches, most recent parts, why don't you know exactly what's on my boat.
The reasons are numerous: Part substitutions caused by supply shortages, the factory making a better deal with a different supplier, undocumented design changes, modifications made by a prior owner or a dealer, or special customization ordered by the original owner.
In the case of mass produced items, some manufacturers are no longer in business or the part has been discontinued. In other cases, parts were made by small fabricators who specialize in OEM contracts. They are not equipped to handle -- or interested in selling -- one or two parts at a time.
We will do our best to find a substitute, or if necessary, a fabricator to make the item. We will need measurements, photos, and possibly the old part. We appreciate your patience and cooperation in this process.
While some parts are in stock and ship the next business day, others require special order or even fabrication. We will let you know if you part will take longer than two weeks from order to your door.
Hunter probably sold you the part from their stock, which is purchased in large quantities at deep discounts. We check to see if Hunter has the part available, but most often it must be special ordered from the manufacturer. Different pricing applies.
Yes! We add more parts every day as we discover sources and applications. Boats built before 2000 will be slower to source. If you can help with sources or part numbers please let us know!

Improvements to the hull, deck, rigging, engine, or interior
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Displacement dry = 2,000 lbs. Thanks to Zac Martin for updates.

Congrats on the boat! We are going on 4 years with our 23.5. Its a great little boat. We mostly sail on a Indiana lake. But we took it up to the Great Lakes last summer for a long week sail and it did great. Probably going again this year. Ive got a pretty decent example of a 23.5 if you need any pics to compare to when your working on yours.
Mar 14, 2024. #3. The Florida Keys is an ideal area in which to cut your teeth on ocean sailing. Study your charts, watch your draft, don't hit any reefs or ground in a shifting shoal. The only suggestions I would add to your list of safety equipment are, include a VHF radio, incase you get outside cell reception.
We narrowed down to a Precision 28 or a Hunter 26. The trailerability won me over. The 26 has the convenience of the 23.5 with the room of some 28 footers. Weekending is comfortable for a family of four. The enclosed head was a big feature demanded by the women in the family. We have had the boat for five years now, and she has held up very well.

From sailboatdata.com we know the boat is 23.67' LOA and in this photo the boat measures 590 ticks. So each tick is 23.67/590 = 0.04 ft/tick or 0.48 inches per tick. The distance between the purple lines is 670-240 = 430 ticks which translates into 17.2 feet. So the wheels sit approximately 17.2 feet from the hitch.
