Dean, with 1 inch spacer you would have bent your drives. Watch the video at launch. I think your star drive actually touched the launch ramp when you spun the boat around to leave the trailer. Looks like you also may have hopped on the deck when you shoved off and also when you go to the back of the boat the drives go lower. Just trying to look out for ya
