In searching for a trailer for a C25 I found a TrailRite with adjustable rollers that is supposed to be for a SK C25. Are these trailers adjustable enough for a FK?

I have that same trailer and I would doubt the roller adjustments would go high enough for a fin keel. I can loook at mine to see how far up they will adjust if that would help.

I also doubt that it could be adjusted to fit, but, if the price makes it worthwhile, you <u>might</u> be able to modify it to fit, by adding some longer support members. I'd call Trail Rite and ask them. If it can be done, it's possible that they might even cut and drill the necessary members and send them to you at some reasonable cost. As a judge once said in a case where a man was accused of soliciting a woman for sex while she was standing at a bus stop, "How are you gonna know if you don't ask?"

I doubt the MFG will send you new supports. It's a liability thing, but I certainly don't know why you can't build your own.
I built a trailer for my little boat. I suspended the boat from the rafters in the shop and built the trailer to fit the boat. Boat weighs 300 lbs.
I have no idea how you would do that to a C25 fin keel boat. Unless you took very good measurements, had everything ready to go and had the marina suspend the boat over the trailer for a few hours on the travel lift while you welded in the new supports.
Easy enough to do I suppose. It would take lots of planning. Beats looking for a trailer to fit. They are rare.

I have the same trailer with adjustable roller supports, and they are just long enough for the s/k. If you are not sure about doing it yourself, I would think any trailer shop could do it - they are just square steel stubing about about 4" square.
