Hey guys I came across this trailer and was wondering if anyone had experience with it fitting a classic 17 foot montauk? It is all aluminum and the specs look similar to the famed cv7 everyone loves, but it seems to have one less crossbar to accommodate the stolz rollers. Ive been looking for a used one for a while and this is the only one I can find that looks good. Any advice would be appreciated. The model is ALB 16-18 2100. Thanks!

Is this going to be setup as a bunk or a keel roller/bunk trailer?

How many cross members are there?

Have a photo?

This will be set up as a bunk trailer but it only has two crossmembers like my current trailer. Im also unsure if the stolz rollers will work well wince they bend down in the middle? I found a good deal on this trailer so hopefully it will work. My current trailer is galvanized and a piece of crap! Thanks for your suggestions guys. If this doesn't work I will continue to try to find a good deal on a continental like Finnegan's.

A 3rd cross member is not necessary. The end of the bunks should line up with the transom.

My Outrage 17 had the same type of setup. You can make it a keel roller setup with 2 on the rear and one on the forward cross member.

See these photos for reference:

Thanks for the info Phil! I found this for less than a grand am in bad need of a trailer for my montauk. It will cost me some cash to get it outfitted, but it seems like it will be worth it.
