Does the trailer need to be adjusted to attain proper tongue weight??

As a rule of thumb I would say any trailer needs to be adjusted to get proper tongue weight.

I see. You haven't got to that yet.

You don't want to see my, haven't got to that yet, list!!

yachtjim · 04-23-2007, 10:34 AM

Our trailer is fine, tongue weight weight is like 500 lbs. I think the picture must be decieving.

piperjohn · 04-23-2007, 10:43 AM

Wow! Yes, the picture is deceiving!

Am I the only one that see's it this way??

Once again, I love those boats. Made in Maine, right??

AlloyToy · 04-23-2007, 10:51 AM

The bow is huge on these boats, so it may be deceiving. Mine looks the same way on my Load Master trailer, but it tows nice. Steve at East Coast Trailer had it set up nicely to fit the boat.

No, not made in Maine. They just happen to work VERY WELL THERE

I really like the new top. Gorgeous (in a very conservative MANLY way of course!) boat.

From this angle it does look like it is sitting way back on the trailer.

Afishinado · 04-23-2007, 12:07 PM

They keep building them like that and we're gonna see a lot more tin boats in the briney

nat · 04-23-2007, 12:30 PM

did you do the bottom paint? or did they do that @ the plant?

what kind of bottom paint is it?

what are you going to rig for electronics ?

yachtjim · 04-23-2007, 01:01 PM

They do the paint at the factory. I did not read up on the process like I probably should have, but I know the outcoat of actual anti-fouling paint is Trilux. She is going to get a Garmin 5212 and GMR18 radar and accessories. It is sitting right where it is supposed to on the trailer that used to have a 28' boat on it. Came all the way down from CT that way, three people can stand on the stern while it is not connected to the truck and it doesn't budge.
