[QUOTE="great white, post: 307238, member: 6238"] Reworked the bow stop and loading winch position again: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/68E6308F-2F80-4155-9F3F-E8AC19E85D84-5161-000005A40BFF51FA_zps6e281609.jpg[/img] [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/F1B011C8-7C4F-4B0F-92AE-19C1BA3F8292-5161-000005A416F89F92_zps71a0200d.jpg[/img] The previous setup pulled the bow down too much when up against the stop. Once it was cranked in against the stop. the keel was loaded against the bottom roller and I was worried about damage to the hull when trailer-ing. Now, the boat is a straight pull with very slight down into the bow stop (ignore the welded bracket on the crank, failed experiment and will be cut off) I've also moved the boat up on the trailer to load the tongue more even though it used to tow fine.
