Float width

[Keith Leitch]

I am trying to build a trailer to put my Champ in and out of the water while it is on floats. Since I also have a set of the Murphy 1800's I was thinking I may as build the trailer wide enough to handle them also (if I ever get them built). Can someone tell me the dimensions of the floats at the widest point (outside chine to outside chine) when they are mounted? The distance between the floats (inside chine to inside chine) and the distance between the keel's?
I am going to build it so tires will fit between the floats and on the outside of them also. May just build a big flat bed. Haven't decided yet.
Thanks,
Keith

I have only assembled the barrels so far but the deminsions I get are 94 1/2"
keel to keel, 66 1/2" inside minus the spray rails if u have them, 112 1/2"
outside chines. Spreader bars are to be cut at 84 1\2". End of bar to float
center about 4 1\2". End of spreader bar to inside chine edge is about 9 1/2"
so do the math. Float is approx 28 3/4" in width not including any spray rails.
