trailering

I have been slowly getting into boating and some people have warned me that the seat cushions could blow out of the boat while it's on the trailer going down the road. I was told to put them in my truck while traveling. It takes up a lot of room in my Jeep and is kind of a hassle on me too. I...

One of the mooring cover buckles cut up the gel coat after a few hundred miles of driving. I had routed them with care but now think I should eliminate the metal buckles. I'd like your advice as I studied this project somewhat but will be seeing the boat body shop. The cover is taut as I tent it...

I want to cover my 20' (+2) Select 200 with the Westland/Sunbrella cover that came with it for 200 miles on road. Advice will be appreciated. The current plan is to skip the center poles that fit under the alternative snap cover. My straps have built in extra buckles which I am using to...

New member here and looking for some input on the 85 sedan bridge 300. I just sold my Grady seafarer and now am looking at buying an 85 sedan bridge. The question is can this boat be trailered? I know I am legal in Length and width. I have a 3500 Dodge Ram diesel with upgraded springs and air...

Purchasing a 1999 270 Sundancer trying to figure out the right trailer for me I thought i could get by with one desinged to fit between a 26-28ft boat, but with the swim platform it is around 29ft 9inches will this work? All freshwater, so does aluminum or steel matter? Appreciate any...

I have a 1 year old Magic Tilt tandem that I pull my 225 WE on. I am having both rear tires replaced as I type. The fronts are in good shape. I understand that the rears are the tires that "scrub" during a turn, but both sides are worn down completely from about 2 inches in from the outboard...

I am looking for a new vehicle and want to be sure it can tow my 2006 Sundeck (4,500 lbs + 700 lbs trailer = 5,200 lbs). A 2014 Chev Traverse with AWD has a maximum tow capacity of, you guessed it, 5200 lbs. My concern is when taking it out of the water will it have the torque to get it up a...

Launched on April 24th, great day till we got an alarm code. Relaunched on May 1st after finding a loose wire and had no problems!!!

After a sleepless two days of driving and sea trialing and driving some more, Piringa is on the Saint John River watershed and soon ready to launch. Some cleaning and hull buffing / polishing / waxing (already read the threads!) and we are ready to splash when the water level drops in the river...
