    SetBack / Offset more or less?

    10-4, always wary about any passengers, had owned 90 MPh plus boats since 1988, though the Allison is light to the extreme and can run the foot to its cavitation limit, thus hooking. Other boats I have owned, like a 19 Action with a 280, would never hook, so the hull is the difference here. A...

    LU crack

    Weld a gusset in on the rear as you see on Wall to the rear. Use a sealer on the inside..if that does not hold, then weld the inside radius and die grind it down, which will be hard to make seal worthy. hopefully the first option holds.

    SetBack / Offset more or less?

    Good point on the bow drop when coming off speed. I had that in mind when I decided to add another 150ish to the rear of the boat in hope of making it more manageable, and anti hooking..

    SetBack / Offset more or less?

    SetBack / Offset more or less?

    Now that's the biggest number I read so far...how violent were the hooks, and what was the speed..all over 80 90, 100 etc...and any threw you? you use a pfd and or a helmet? thanks for sharing the info...I felt mine begin a few times, gently let off, so no damage yet, but I want to be prepared...

    SetBack / Offset more or less?

    When I got my boat it was bare empty, and for my comfort too weight sensitive. I loaded two batteries in the rear starboard, toolbox in the rear port. 12 inch bass box in the rear starboard with a charger too..about an extra 150 pounds...the boat now is more rearward balance, comes off a high...

    Trailer Design - Matching Trailer To Boat For Proper Support

    That is the fix for sure. Did you block the roller up with a bar of steel? Also Gordon, although it may have come from the factory with the round roller, I reviewed the v bow bumpers again last night, and it does look like the initial design was for those...one of them would close the gap, but...

    Trailer Design - Matching Trailer To Boat For Proper Support

    Gordon, I did look at taking the route of a larger front roller (yes I have the same issue you pictured), and could not find a roller alternative. After taking measurement on the gap, I noticed that the mounting tab were bowed out...so I concluded the trailer must have had a black rubber v...

    Trailer Design - Matching Trailer To Boat For Proper Support

    Notice when you crank it all the way down how the trailer flexes downward. Never seen that on any other boat trailer I have owned. I do not crank it down, but wished the nose was on a bumper. If the front bumper could adjust we would not have this conversation...so how can we make it adjustable...
