    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.
