I'll agree with everything but the Uhaul part.... uhaul has a HORRIBLE reputation for installing hitches... Do an internet search of camping sites and see what they have to ssay about the subject... Odds are you have a local trailer company that will do a better job cheaper.

Thank you... This is a bit wider, 42" on the transom, and no flex to it...Maybe different generations of the boat... I certainly hope the capacity is more than 370...I've had my whole family in there, hate to think I had double the rated capacity in there. Going to continue to research...

Wow! We just joined this site today, and this thread on your boat is amazing! You say you are "winging it" but you must have some carpenter experience or something because I am awe! We purchased a shallow V this weekend on Craigslist as well. We have no hopes of anything as beautiful as...
