Hey Scippy,
The boat is sweet! You gotta be really excited! Hopefully this means no more long days in the backyard working away every weekend. My only friendly suggestion is to put some serious thought into the winch stand design. If your planning to do a lot of trailering/ramping, it am be a big pain in the ars. That was the one thing I wanted to change on our mistress trailer but did not get a chance to. Take a look at some of the others in the classifieds. You will see what I mean. What happens is it can be difficult to nose over the V-block when backed in at the ramp... That's just my 2cents, never the less, sweet boat.

Jr.............Thanks for the friendly suggestion and compliment...........The ramps here in Jersey (at least the ones iv'e used) seem to drop off suddenly in a very short distance.
I'm fearful of losing the boat, trailer and possibly my truck on such a ramp I don't have a small truck (Ram 2500 gas engine) but The Mistress and the steel Myco might be more
than my truck can handle on a sharp degree ramp.............I'm going to travel lift her for the first splash past that I'm not certain.........are you talking about being blocked of good
sight (over your shoulder) with my type of winch stand?

Dont know if you have ever been there or not, but the municipal marina in Brick on Mantoloking Rd has a pretty good ramp. Wide, and not very steep. I know several people who put and pull good size boats from there. I use Cotys ramp on Fischer Blvd in TR. A little steeper, but a good ramp just the same.
