[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 461037, member: 24227"] As light as that boat and trailer are, you're fine. A single axle trailer can handle a lot of being out of level before it becomes a problem. The drop hitch with all the extra pins and angles will increase stress on some parts but this stuff is overbuilt enough to be able to handle the extra stress - it's made for towing stuff much bigger than what you're towing. The only concern I have is the height of the prop off the ground. Tilt the motor up when you're on the road to get more clearance. If you will be traveling more than a few short miles to the ramp, $30 spent on a transom saver might save you hundreds in repairs. [/QUOTE]
