If that boat was mine the rollers on the sides would be off from there and replaced with a carpeted board. I think your side roller is to far ahead and it won't stop your boat from swinging sideways. I had the same thing once but not for long

I have to ask. How is a mag going to stick to an aluminum boat 8) ?

I have a Lund 16 foot Angler SS with 60 Hp motor and my bunks are 6 inches wide almost full length of the trailer. I can push it around when the bunks are dry but when wet you can move it anywhere you want. My other boat is a 16 foot Lund open hull fishing style and the bunk are 2 inches wide on...

OK Measure from your trailer jack to the appox center of your axle and get me that measurement. Are you going to be using a motor and if so do you intend on leaving it on the boat when you trailer it? What you need to do is get your boat past the center of you axle by 12 or more inches. You can...

I just sprayed one of my tractors and I used Rustoleum ultra coverage. I thinned it the first coat but it made it to thin. On the next coat I used it straight out of the can and it did a much better job. I think it was 8 or 9 bucks a quart.

Do you have the boat? If you do let me know I think I have an idea

Why not go the other way? Purchase a boat trailer and make a deck that will fit on it. Probably will cost less to do it this way.

I did the same thing but I removed the top cap off the transom and then added plywood cut to shap the transom. I sandwiched the new piece between 2 pieces of 1/8 thick aluminum sealed with expoy and replaced the top cap. I let the aluminum plate go 2 inches below the old part of the transom and...

Can you post a pic of your transom? Is it flat across the top of the boat or is there a slight dip down?

The bunks on mine are 6 inches wide. On the span between the frame of your trailer you have to remember that your boat weight is spread over a larger area. When they test ths breakage on boards they hit it in one small area. With out measuring mine I think my frame members are about 5 foot apart

I have a trail master trailer and the bunks on it are mounted to the frame of the trailer. It has wide rollers down the middle to hit the center of the boat. On there website now it shows a bracket but mine does not have it. I had a shore line trailer with a starcraft boat before and with the...

I went to the farm store and got a piece of rubber belting. It was about a 1/4 inch thick and then I use stainless screws to fasten it. The reason I did this was I raised the transom and the cap on the top of transom has a joint under it. It has been on the boat for 3 years and my motor has...

It may be when you pull the choke that is causing your problem. Can you turn your idle speed low enough so that the motor will kill? Maybe try this

Good deal. You know what they say some people fall in it and come out smelling like a rose :)

I don't know if this is true or not, but I have been told that when the trailer has a load on it, it will let the wheels ride flat under the load
