    Will boat for this style trailer?

    I don’t know they can be raised without some external parts. I’m sure I can buy something though. I just learned last night there is a difference between Jon and v hull trailers. (I’m sure everyone else knows this already) The cross members on the v hull trailer will be recessed to prevent just...

    Will boat for this style trailer?

    Here is the boat on my new trailer. Lots of good. It’s going to work. I’d say it’s a touch short but way better than it was before. I did run into a little bit of trouble with the keel running against the third crossmember (closest to bow). The river is WAY down so I think I’ll probably get a...

    Will boat for this style trailer?

    I’m going to take it to river tonight and see how it does. My measurements show it being ok but until it’s on the trailer I’m not sure how she’ll fit

    Will boat for this style trailer?

    Before I get too deep into swapping trailers…will this style trailer work? I bought this trailer and Jon boat Monday. I wanted this trailer (2019) to replace my misfit other one.

    Trouble launch and loading boat

    And this is where things get really confusing on this motor…the transom bracket shows a 1977 model number. The impeller for a 1977 is one of the bigger non through hub exhaust size impellers according to Crowley marine engine.com. The impeller did not fit. I think I ended up ordering parts for a...

    Trouble launch and loading boat

    Sgr ageeed! I think it’s a modified Jon boat trailer. I’m going to look at this boat and trailer tomorrow. Trailer is 18 feet long and a 2019. I think it will provide much more suitable trailer for this boat. This little trailer I’ve got here will also work well for the job boat. Win win.

    Trouble launch and loading boat

    This trailer has had the tongue extended at some point in its life already. I had to move the boat back on the trailer about a foot to not have a ridiculously high tongue Weight (around 300 lbs). It’s around 165-175 now which is way closer to my crvs 150-225 lbs max tongue weight towing...

    I appreciate it! I may look into a hitch extension after I get the new trailer see how it does.

    Trouble launch and loading boat

    I primarily launch from same ramp: River I’d way down right now so I’m guessing there probably my number 1 issue. To flat to launch easily. This boat is also way heavier than my old one so picking it up and just setting it where I want it is much more difficult.
