[QUOTE="FishinFitz, post: 463268, member: 24429"] Griz, thanks for the burger, it was great to meet you. If you need to mod that trailer to make it work go for it. Maybe replace those covered 1x4 with longer sturdier bunks. Cover the bunks with gutter downspouts like Richg99 has described before. My understanding the key is weight distribution, too much weight behind the axles and the trailer might fish tail. Has happen to me with a Boy Scout equipment trailer, not fun. There’s no that much weight to these boats, the majority of the weight is the motor. Might consider trailering with the motor off the transom? If I can do anything to help let me know. [/QUOTE]
