Default Is 16' trailor long enough?

I'm looking into trailors and I found a descent deal on a 16' with a beaver tail. Is that long enough? I was hoping for an 18'.

16' With a beaver tail is enough. It will use up a good majority of it. With an 18' there it's nicer to be able to get the car to balance more on the trailer and less on the truck. Plus the extra room up front can be nice too.

16 foot here. I haul my camaro all over. Carried Full size Long bed trucks on it. I have to jack the front up with the beaver tail so the nose won't hit.

No problem with a 16' and even have a good sized box on the front. Plenty for one of these cars..
