[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 500929, member: 16767"] I’m going to post a couple pictures of my 1751 sitting on the trailer that it came with. In these two pictures I’m towing the boat with a Jeep that has 2” lift & 35” tires. I mention the Jeep because the way the boat sits on the trailer, it is sitting “bow low”, despite being towed by a vehicle that sits higher than average. When I towed my Ranger BB (on a Ranger Trail trailer), with the same Jeep, the Ranger sat with the bow slightly higher than the stern. I know I can simply use a different hitch, to raise the front of the trailer/boat, but if I were to do that, and then tow my 1648 with the same setup, it would be way to high in the front…the 1751 just doesn’t sit right on this trailer. My initial thought was to use a difference trailer, but I haven’t made up my mind yet. I have a galvanized trailer that was originally under a Ranger BB, that I could modify to work with this boat, so I have that option I could fall back on later. One thing I don't like about the trailer that came with the 1751, is the length of main square tube that connects the trailer to the hitch, is so long that is sags. When I look at something, and I see it sagging, it drives me crazy because that’s all I can see…I can’t see the forest because of one crooked tree…LOL. [/QUOTE]
