Trailer set-up question
I have a 2001 Donzi 33zx sitting on a 2005 Real Extreme trailer. Can someone give me an idea of how it should look on the trailer? The bunks do have steps in them for the step in the bottom of the boat, but no matter how I set it up it just doesn't appear right. Any help or pics I would appeciate.

My 2002 38zx Is On A Tri Axle Loadmaster Aluminum Trailer With Stepped Bunks. It Is Correctly On The Trailer When The Rear Of The Boat Is Flush With The Back Of The Bunks. A Couple Of Inches Too Far Forward Or Backwards And It Rides Like Crap. I Attached A Photo (i Think). I Did Take Off The Front Bow Arm From The Trailer. I Use 2 Large 10k Pound Straps For Tying Down The Bow. Makes Me Feel A Little More Comfortable.

Re: Trailer set-up question
I can't see where your winch stand is set, but it Looks like the boat is too far back on the bunks. Hammer is right, rear of boat should be flush with the end of the bunks (at least that's where I've gotten my best ride). If you can, move the winch stand towards the trailer tongue so you can get the boat further forward on the trailer. I have Sonic 386 on a Real Extreme trailer so I'm not dealing with any step problems. Tying down the bow is good - don't forget rear tie-downs too. Hope you get it sorted out
