[QUOTE="Scott F, post: 451147, member: 23059"] An update to my original post. I replaced the guide-ons that came with my trailer for ones that were a little taller and I could adjust much closer to the hull. I also added a keel roller underneath, about half way up the trailer. I put the boat in today, caught some white bass in the Illinois River and had very little problems getting the boat back on the trailer. The current at the launch I used today was much slower that where I previously launched but the ramp was shallower. I drove it on, had to back up once to get the front lined up better, and once the rig was pulled out a bit, the boat settled right where it was supposed to be. Thanks for the assistance. Of course when I got home, I found one of the trailer tie downs was gone and the other just hanging on by one hook. New ratcheting tie downs have been ordered. Even after all these years of boat ownership I am still surprised by all the additional spending even a new boat requires. I know I'm not telling most of you anything you don't already know. :LOL2: [/QUOTE]
