[QUOTE="richg99, post: 442768, member: 4376"] Looks like you are going down a checklist of things that you can do to make her launch better. As already suggested, putting the axle on top of the springs will add a few inches. Sometimes, you can lower the bunk supports, too. Incidentally, rollers are not recommended for tin boats, though your boat is pretty light and it may not be a factor. If you plan on replacing the rusty roller brackets anyhow, that might be another thing that you can do at this time to get her lower. A longer tongue or a tongue extension can help a lot. The little 1 1/4 inch hitch might have to be traded out so that you can get the other things that you might need to launch without swamping your vehicle. I know, since I did that one time. [/QUOTE]
