Hallo.
Thinking about importing a Navigator 165 to Sweden. Anyone who knows length and width of boat on trailer? Trying to calculate freight costs.
Thank you.

Hiya,

Length on trailer with a motor can be just a touch under 24 feet. If you get a swing away tongue, you can get it down to about 22 feet. I have a swing-away tongue and love it...

Width on my shoreland'r trailer is 8' - 5" give or take a couple of inches.

If you import it without a motor, you would be down to about 20 feet in length.

The boat itself is almost 17 feet long.

Hope freight cost is not too much...

I suppose you could also "drive it" across...

HI Stefan, maybe Alumacraft would want a dealer in Swedan? you could be the rep. You could help sell a few boats if you had one there. Don't forge the Suzuki. Duff

I just measured mine, a 2000 165 tiller. 92" from outside trailer tire to tire. 22' total length from hitch to back of a 50hp Merc 2 stroke, without a swing tongue.

The 2000 model is now called the classic 165 which is much narrower than the Navigator 165 they came out with in the 2005 model year. That year through the present, the navigator 165 is 16'-7" long, with a 90" beam.

Thank you all. Good and fast info here. It sure would be great to be a Alumacraft rep in Sweden, but with the non existing value of the swedish krona today the boats would be extremely expensive. To us swedes the us dollar has increased by around 50% since its lowest value last summer.
The only way for me is to find a good, used boat at a resonable price.
