Trailer question - 205v on a X2 trailer?

I've got a 2002 x-star (205v) and have never owned a trailer because I keep my boat on a hydrohoist do all my own maintenance. I'm now in the market because our cove is going dry. I've found a single axle trailer for a 2007 X2 and was wondering if it would work for my Xstar. It looks like the 02 Xstar is about a half foot longer and 6 inches narrower than a new X2. Anyone ever try an x-star/205v on a X2 trailer? my primary concerns:

1. negative tongue weight from the boat sitting back
2. tracking fins hitting the cross braces (I don't think the X2 has them)

I can do some cutting/welding if needed, but would prefer to find something that would work without modification. I don't actually plan to trailer the boat for any significant miles, just pull it out until we get some rain.

Also, if anyone knows of a 205v trailer (or other trailer that might work) available in Texas, let me know. Thanks for the help.

No. they have different hull designs.

Why don't you call owen at boatmate trailers. He can build you a basic trailer very cheap right now that will actually fit your boat.

I may go with a new trailer if I can't find a decent used one that will work. I assume a new one will run at least $2500-3000 and it looks like the used ones typically run under $1500. My boat hasn't been on a trailer in over 5 years and may not ever be on a trailer if we just get some rain.
