What are the specs of the trailer, GVWR weight capacity, length
What is the weight of the 25 footer and model

There are many variables here. Trailer weight capacity and boat weight. BTW boats always weigh more than the manufacturer specs. My little 20’ Four Winns weighs 4960 on the trailer! Finally took it to a scale a couple of weeks ago.

What the heck is a "cutty cabin"???
Maybe CUDDY CABIN?
And no...you can't use it unless the hull is dang near the same configuration...strakes, deadrise, width, length...etc etc...too many variable as noted above.

common mistake.
Haul for hull
birth for berth
etc.

'We' see even less than you do. So, if you are asking for permission, the answer is No :LOL:

FWIW - Tandem trailers with 14" wheels tend to be of lower capacity.
For example, on the Loadrite website trailers with 14" wheels run between 4,200 and 5,800 lbs. capacity.

We don't need to see the trailer or the boat or even know any of the data. If the trailer has no specs then it's a hard no.

The only suggestion is to find out the manufacturer and serial number of the trailer and then call THEM to ask the question.
