[QUOTE="eeshaw, post: 488788, member: 25150"] I think the trailer was bought based on the weight of the hull and engine package. To me it looks like it could be tippy, i.e. short axle. I prefer an axle that has the wheels on the outside of the hull, not underneath. The lower the boat sits on the trailer frame the better to me. You don't have to back in as far to launch like has been mentioned. I do agree with you though, I'd put the 3 foot extension on if it were mine. The suggestion that it could use guide-ons would be a definite plus. I won't start the transom saver debate. If you were to drop the package closer to the trailer I'd suggest one, not a requirement for a light engine but that's also a light boat. The one thing I see that is total overkill is the double roller tongue jack. You should send that to me and I'll exchange it for the proper one. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
