I'm not sure if being prepared is your concern or the actual launching? As long as you have all of your initial check list in order you should be fine. Things like remembering the plug and removing your straps. Don't back your trailer down too far ( yes I've seen this happen on occasion) but...

I could be wrong, but I think the 170s max out with a 90hp. Definitely looked into it before your purchase. Even if your hull could potentially handle it, I'm sure the local wildlife agent wouldn't take to kindly to it if you are ever checked.

27! I turn 31 tomorrow. So far so good I guess.

That I will have to check on my next time out. At the moment I honestly can't recall.

I like this wizard. It helped perfectly. Thanks.

I will soon be in the market for a new prop. I am thinking that I may go with stainless. Either way, what in your experience would be the ideal setup. I have a 2014 pro16 bass tracker with a 40hp mercury four stroke.

Yes. That will be interesting. I hope she still floats!

No seats. I can sit on the ice chest if needed. Mostly standing.

Well not much has changed lately. I pretty much have the whole boat wired. I'm just waiting on a switch for my horn and two led strips to come in. The LEDs will be for lighting inside my hatches. The trolling motor looks massive on the bow of this little guy. I can't help but stand back and...

Looks good. I like the colors.

I like this idea. Very simple and effective. Very clean looking also.

Keep searching until you find a proper drop hitch. Your boat is light enough that I wouldn't worry about it. Make sure you have tow chains and a good pin in your receiver. I think you are over thinking this. Keep it simple.

I have vinyl on my boat and it is great. It actually has a thin layer of cloth between the vinyl and aluminum for insulation. It never gets hot. I will never buy anything else.

I finally had a little free time today to start on my hatch doors. I am still waiting for my recessed handles to come in.

I would say most of the time it's on. Occasionally I will forget about it but as soon as I look down I usually notice it hanging there. My biggest problem is forgetting I have it on.
