In the end, to put fenders on the trailer was kind of pricey, but they look good and will protect the new paint so I'm glad I did it. After loading the boat back on the trailer, It appears I can lower the bunk supports about an inch or two all the way around and still have plenty of room in between the tire, fender, and boat. I maxed the 12" front supports out and made the rear supports slightly lower to keep a slight rake in the bunks.
I used 12" supports which raised the boat up some to give added room for the fenders. I also replaced all the bunk boards and bunk hardware with longer bunk supports. To clarify, the fenders came with predrilled holes for whatever application they were originaly intended for, so I drilled some that made them sit closer to the tire than what they came with.
The fenders seem to work at this point, but I did drill new holes and actually lowered the fender down some so there is not as much space between the tire and top of the fender. plywood and covered them with standard bunk carpet. I made the skirts out of 15/32 (1/2") p.t. I'll remember that when I decide to purchase a new one, but untill then I need a little advice.I got them on after adding the wheel spacers and longer wheel studs. I tried to contact bayliner to find out, they kind of gave me the run around and acted like they didn't want to mess with someone with a 20yr old boat. My boat is a 1988 bayliner, I didn't know if escort was their own inhouse brand of trailer or if they were made by someone else. HELP!! I'm a newbie and can use the direction. I have tried to figure out who makes Escort trailers and how to contact them, but have not had any luck. Any Ideas? I figured if I had the first part of the vin tag number, I could use my SSN or such for the serial #. I also will need a vin to register my trailer. My trailer shop needs my VIN which is incomplete, I am hoping that if I can figure out the VIN I can work with my local trailer shop, since it is close by. Does anyone have the break down, as to what the VIN numbers and letters are in reference to. It is a 88 escort?, I have found a couple of places that handle parts for them, but they keep asking me in reference to my VIN tag that is not completely ledgable.
