Change is good ??? Looks like a nice boat. Gotta like that 'basic black'. :thumb:
"Basic black" ... and trim. I've never gotten the jackscrew trim to work on the Silverline. It's nice to have a trim system that works.

Seems to be doing fairly well so far ... will be putting some higher octane in it later today to see what that does. Opted not to add any octane boosters and just let the tank run down and fill it back up with premium. Did a little skiing off it the other day and it handles that well enough.

I've seen the double rollers on the winch stand. Might provide a little more stability.
I'm probably gonna' let it sit for now, but I'll definitely look into the double rollers for next year, thanks for the suggestion.

In this photo you can see the front of the trailer a little:

At the first cross member on the trailer, you can see where the bunk starts. There's nothing between that bunk, and the roller at the bow-stop. Nothing along the keel anywhere. So if that bow isn't snug on that roller, it'll rock some.

Not a big concern right now, the bunks seem to be supporting it just fine. Just interesting to me ... and apparently a place where I'm kinda' fixated :tinfoil3:

My trailer is setup the very similar when loading you have to crank the boat up on that winch stand roller tight once you do that it holds beautifully my boat doesn't move at all on the trailer solid I could probably lift the trier by the boat and not have it move but like I said you gotta crank her on tight tight

Loaded her back up on the trailer tonight after an evening run (lost my nav lights about half way to where we were going and had to come back in). Snugged the boat up to the front roller and it's sitting much better on the trailer. Thanks Ray.

Old Jeep - I loaded her up with premium tonight too. I think it was idling better by the end of the evening. We'll play with the boat a little more tomorrow and see how it does.
