Looking to move up to a C25 from a C22, I am wondering if I can use the trailer for my C22 to move the C25, does anyone have an idea if it is possible? |

Probably not, but maybe.
Things to consider are how heavy-duty is the trailer? If it was built with a 3000 # axle, it's too small for a C25. You could add another axle for a tandem axle set up, then it would be OK if the frame itself is sturdy enough. Most states will also require trailer brakes once you go over 3000 # gross weight.
Another consideration is that the trailer may be so short that you won't be able to get enough weight on the tongue. You'll most likely have to move the axle(s) back 18" or so just to keep the boat and trailer balanced properly. |
