Thank you! The last big trailer I bought the manufacturer was able to measure my boat for an exact fit. That’s not possible this time but I am trying to get as close to an exact fit as I can.

Thanks so much! I am trying to tailor the trailer as much as possible for a good fit.

Looks like I am going to have to order as I have not found one in stock yet. Do you know (1) how much length they took out of your trailer and (2) what your total height is to the top of the arch with the anchor light folded down and tv and gps antennas removed? Do you think there are some...

I like the “boat stop” also. It should reduce the chances of the anchor hitting the winch stand. You should check out this video...

Great modifications, I have been thinking an electric winch and jack would be great to have. I am also going to add a ladder to whatever trailer I get. I had a local welding shop put one on my old 260 trailer and I was able to easily launch/retrieve solo.

Good looking rig. I have a 2008 290 DA and am looking for a trailer. Did you purchase model VATB-12625? Curious whether you would change anything if you were to purchase another?

I keep a floating and telescoping “shorty” boat hook from West Marine in the transom locker.

You might consider adding an all chain rode if you don’t have one already.

I got the Rocna 15 (15 kg or 33 lb). I don’t think anything larger will fit on the roller without modification. So far It has been great.

I moved my boat from the Arkansas River to Lake Hamilton for the summer and have had recurring problems getting the anchor to both set initially and, once it has, to stay set. The shank was bent a little. I have an all chain rode and typically lay out enough chain for a 5 or 7 to 1 scope...

Official (new design) 290 Sundancer Thread Also use a 4" foam topper and it is very comfortable.

Cjameson, Are these pictures what you are looking for? This extended aft Bimini top is part of the camper canvas option (which encloses the cockpit) for the 290 Sundancer.
