A little contraversy make it more fun! Thanks for the compliments guys.
Loto, does the trailer float? I'm thinking about a triple axle loadmaster. I heard they float and can be a pain to load. My current trailer only has the rear bunks also and it was a nightmare getting it on my first time. What an embarassing ramp story. Also, are you spinning the props in our out and what props do you have?

And a extra thanks to KBT74 for making the brutal road trip to pick her up. 1200 miles in 28 hours. Thanks buddy!

CFD5, congrats on the new boat. The other trip would have been worse.

heres a thread about my trailer and some good advice about loading i got from Griff. loadmaster is mentioned also. i have a ramp story also ugggg. windy day with a current. would have been easyer if i jumped off the bow with a rope and drug it onto the trailer

BGIII, Glad I didn't head that way!

Loto, sounds like we have the same ramp story. I'm spinning 24 bravo 4blades, out also. Prev. owner said he tried some 25 mirage's and picked up a couple on top end but like the cruise of the 4blades better. I'm gonna try some 25's as soon as I get used to the boat. I also got some porposing at WOT but I think it's because I'm not used to the boat yet and don't have it trimmed right.
Thanks for all the compliments guys!

the porposing im getting happens in flat water but goes away with the trim and tabs adjusted to around 2 on the mechanical indicators. the rougher the water the less porposing i get
