    Is it safe? Thru transom mount needed?

    Bolting some angle iron to the bunks isn't a bad idea....I'll look into that as an option if I go with a transom saver. Thanks for the advice!

    Is it safe? Thru transom mount needed?

    Thankfully my bunks go all the way underneath the end of the boat, would never have thought about checking that so thanks for the advice......only bummer is I can't use a transom saver becase the cross bar of the trailer is too far under the end of the boat so it's not a good angle, it would...

    Is it safe? Thru transom mount needed?

    I recently purchased a 5 hp Briggs outboard and am wondering about trailering it. Is it safe to mount it to the back of the boat using the typical spin screws and trailer it on a 2-3hr highway drive? If so, what precautions do I need to make? Assuming i need to tie down the handle to avoid it...

    14' Slyvan mods

    or better yet...how do you get to your anchor? I see the line under the eve but the actual anchor looks like its under the hatch up front. Based on your frame underneath it doesn't look like the front section opens to get at the anchor though, do you just use a large clip to attach it to the...

    Lowe A1457 V-Boat mod suggestions / help

    Here's another question. I'd like to have a front deck with two openings, the first opening towards the rear to get at the anchor. The second opening behind the first but opens towards the front. I envision a hinge between the two so one hinge opens both towards each other. The problem is in...

    On-Board Charger or Portable Charger

    I currently have (2) 12 volt deep cycle batteries. I've been charging them with a portable charger after each use, but am interested in a better method. It's a pain to charge them individually and keep track of that. They get fully charged before and just after each trip but in between they...
