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.

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

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

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.
