What the F!!! I can't understand it either? My Skater is strapped 3 times up front and twice in the rear and my props ALWAYS come off the minute I leave the water.

He has a mess on his hands.......props, gimbals, lowers, on top of tons of glass work.:mad:

props come off every time ? just in case ? theft ? how much were those props worth on the nortech on the road ?

if you ask me seems like the guy was a newbie , i've never understood 300k and up boats on cheap traillers , are you kidding me ? it seems to me like if you have that money to spend the boat automaticlly goes on a manning or myco.

my boat is practicly worthless and it still:food-smiley-007: has a cable ,strap, and saftey chain on the front and 2 big azz 3" straps on the back , and where the ratchet wants to hit the boat i got these terrycloth waxing pads that simply slide in between the ratchet and the fiberglass ,works awsome for the last 12 years

Yeah good thing nothing like that ever happens here. :rolleyes:

I agree with boat prices and trailers. My new to me boat came with the biggest POS trailer. Broke an axle on delivery and tires rubbing on fender wells. First thing I did was buy a new Manning trailer with 6 disc 7K three axle trailer with electric over hydraulic brakes. I've owned Manning, Myco, Loadmaster and a couple others. By far the best trailer and now the only trailer I will ever buy is a Manning. I use two straps in back, chain, whinch, and additional strap on the bow eye. I tow it with a F 450 dually and a prodigy brake controller. Can stop the whole thing as quick as most cars. 12 tires with brakes.
