[QUOTE="HANGEYE, post: 398443, member: 7474"] Looks like you have a lot of mods to do on that trailer. Work from front to rear. The first thing I would look at is the winch tower. Move it forward as far as possible. Lower the winch and move the bow roller up the winch tower, above the winch. You want the bow roller to contact the bow above the bow eye. The winch strap goes under the bow roller and attaches to the bow eye. This is to prevent the boat from climbing the bow roller in the case of a sudden stop. Then as stated above, add support as needed (roller support mid-ship) and bunks that support the transom. While you're at it, see if you can lower the boat closer to the trailer, this will give you a lower center of gravity (think going around corners) and make it a bit easer at launch and retrieval. Keep in mind, this trailer may not be suitable for this boat and you may have to find a proper one. HANGEYE [/QUOTE]
