Need a little help.

Looking at picking up an 18' cargomate 14' + 4' nose
Trailer will be used primarily for 2 163s but I want to have the rare option
to carry a third 163 if needed.
If I put them tail to tail will they fit?

Thanx for your help

I can put 5, 155's or 163's in my 28' I can't see why you can't put 3 in an 18'???

Drive 2 right up front, push the ass end's over and the 3rd up the middle. Or do as white6 mentioned too.

8.5 you will be able to, 7 wide not a chance unless you stack the tails on top of each other. we built a ramp and made this work but big PIA....we dont do it any more. The third guy was a ungratful dic so we skidded him, pitched the ramp and never looked back.

ya 8.5 wide to make our setup work. I used to run a 19' pace american (i now have a 21'-23' rance). i had my 153" m800 drove into the nose then backed in a 163" polaris dragon and 163" m1000. Like i said it's tight but doable. Maybe look at getting yourself some styro-foam or something for placing between the sleds, that's what we used to use so that we could squish em together with less concern. Couple feet makes a big difference though, as in my 21' i can drive 3 sleds in thru the front door facing out the back; two square w/ tails split and third one clamped inbetween. Plus carry drum of race fuel and have space for gear bags tool bags etc on the floor around. Anddd i dont want to lose what i wrote to check the initial post but im pretty sure u said u had 18' inside dimentions, i had 17' in the pace (12'box 5'vee). Hope this helps!

A shameless plug for my trailer that is for sale.
2 x 154" and a 159" (I think) in the middle. Still some wiggle room too.
14' on the sides and a 5' V

Being able to park side x side is what makes the difference. Here's a pic of ours for reference ! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1343788403.033086.jpg

Is this a wells cargo silver sport? I was just wondering because I think I have the exact trailer and was wondering about three sleds. How did it pull with it loaded like that. Was there enough tongue weight. Did the skis on the back snowmobile touch the other sleds? Thanks in advance for the info.
