I picked up this boat at Ron Hoover boat sales in Breckenridge, TX. 150hp Mercury Optimax Pro XS, Minnkota Ultrex spot lock trolling motor.
We are loving it… except for one problem…
When we try to trailer the boat we have to back the trailer so far down the ramp that the trailer is completely submerged and my truck bumper is touching the water and my mufflers are gurgling…
I added a 3-inch drop hitch to my truck and that helped a little but I still have to back down almost as far. And the front of the boat still raises up off the bunk boards slightly when the boat is hooked to the winch. Is that normal??
My winch stand is 12 1/2 inches tall and most other Nitro trailers are half of that height.
I’ve ordered an adjustable 9-12 inch winch stand and I hope that helps.
It’s pretty hard to get the boat straight on the trailer when the trailer is out of sight!!
I’m probably going to add boat guides to my trailer!!!
Anyone else having issues like this???
