I need a trailer for my 2008 Outback (quickly too).
I found a Ramlin that is in great shape. It was carrying a 2006 Air Nautique SV211. It seems to have similar measurements.
I measured it all and the bunks are acceptable in width. There is a little more room between the wheel wells and guideposts. The side platforms are wider than the boatmate's. It might carry the boat a little lower too.
Here are a few pics. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160709/306029ad598aadd0eccccf0ab113a6d5.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160709/1e8633381139f4092d46abc535ea1969.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160709/5650f9eb5d5b85f0d0b59ebe558828ff.jpg
Let me know what you think. I will have an opportunity to test fit it before buying.

Hmm. I think I looked at one of those for my 2000 Outback a few years back. It was a little narrow. I'm glad you get to test fit. If it's all good it should be fine though.

It's physical shape is spectacular. Hoping it fits. Already have a house on Lake Whitney rented for early August.

My Nautique came with a trailer that looks like the Ram-Lin you are considering. It worked well. Unlike a Boatmate trailer, with the carpeted bow stop boards I was able power onto the trailer at the end of the day, regardless of the water depth or pitch of the launch ramp.

Thanks for the reply. I cant wait to test fit it. I like it better than my boatmate which is falling apart as it was used in salt.

I did end up buying the trailer.
I was very rushed since I had a lake house on Whitney rented starting Sunday.

The good, the boat fits like a glove and is rock solid while towing. The bad, I believe the torsion system has collapsed and is not adjustable. The tires don't rub and I don't see any movement while hauling. I will have it checked out in the off season.

The lower bow support has now been adjusted to touch the hull. The pic was taken on the first load.
