Hey guys, just picked up a new aluminum bunk trailer for my 241 Libby. How much clearance should there be between the top of the tires and the bottom of the fender with the boat loaded?

Ha! Just made a discovery...my trailer has the same GVW and is listed for a 23-24ft. Boat. Mine is 23' 8" The discovery is that the fenders are made with 2 sets of mounting holes and the second set is lower and plastic plugged. All I have to do now is remount to the second position which will raise the fenders by 2". Should now avert any clearance problems!
