[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 424947, member: 12995"] If you compare the picture of my Hobie which sat very high on the trailer to clear the fenders (I don't think it was the correct size trailer for the boat) to his homemade where the boat sits nice and low, I had to back into the water to where the exhaust pipes were just hitting the water, partway up the wheels. He probably doesn't need to get his wheels in the water at all to float the boat off the trailer. So the trailer can obviously make a big difference. If you get a trailer with a drop axle, the boat will sit a lot lower. My old Sprint boat trailer had a drop axle which kept the boat pretty low. [/QUOTE]
