I have a 2002 WK with a trail rite trailer. I am in Illinois and boat is in Florida to be picked up tomorrow for me, but they want to know trailer ball size. Told them I thought probably 2 inch . Right or wrong?

Note that Daniel has a C-25, and therefore probably not the trailer that would have come with a C-250.

ahh yes good point. Mine is also custom made trailer and I picked everything bit on "up side" - Including choosing bigger coupler.

My trailer is also custom built as my trailrite was destroyed in a fire. My ball is 2 5/16 as well. Call catalina and ask what the stock trailer uses.

At Catalina they don't know much about trailers. I've called them and emailed them trying to get a drawing / dimensions of a trailer and they just told me that they're not in trailer business and don't have the info.

I would ensure that the receiver is class IV and ball is rated for appropriate weight. I believe they're 6k or 12k. I'd go with 12k.
