Has anyone had problems with getting a step hull on the trailer? I have a Vanguard trailer and the bunks fit the boat perfectly when it is on the trailer and it lines up the boat perfectly when coming on, but the steps get hung up as it is coming on and I have to use a lot of throttle to get the steps to drop over the bunks. Once they do the boat is on the trailer and it is less than a inch from the front roller ( perfect ) but the steps are starting to be hard on the carpet. Has anyone had this problem with their trailer and if so what did you do? I have thought about the plastic slides, but I do not know if they will hold up to the weight of the 38'.

Can you drop the trailer in a bit deeper? I never get hung up on our Hustler (on or off).

Boomer is right you need to drop the trailer in a little further.
I've never driven any of my boats on the trailer. Once you know how deep to back it in , I've always slid it on by hand with no issues.

Tim the others are correct from the 29 to the 38 you must go deeper, and try not to power it on, it seems easier to winch it on. Good luck.

All,

Thanks - I am going to dry deeper. I was just concerned that I would lose the guiding on to the trailer if I were to go deeper. I will give it a shot next weekend.

Just do what she says and GO DEEPER

Tim, we going to see you again in the gravel pit South of Henry this year?

Knot 4 me,

We have been in the pit every weekend so far. We will be there agian this coming weekend. When do you think you will be back around?

Tim

Rich,

I have heard that commetn before. How does she run now? The wife and I are planning a trip to Clinton the weekend of the 24th. Where can we get some dock space for the night?

Tim

Not sure. My boat is on a lift down at Clinton Lake so I spend more time there but I hope to get to the river soon. You still in your 34 or did you move to a 38?
