Boat fell off trailer

Setting aside the laziness factor ...there are NO holes drilled into the galvanized trailer. The galvanized "L" brackets span the square tube. The bolts draw it tight. The only holes are into wood, where the "L" brackets attach to the wooden plywood. Not a bad one hour job if you have the tools. RichG http://groups.msn.com/CarolinaSkiffO...hoto&PhotoID=9 Indeed. I have no good way to get off the damned boat once I slide it up on its trailer on the ramp at our marina. There's no dock alongside the boat ramp, and the drop from the gunnel to the trailer fender puts me in pretty deep water. Crabbing my way from the fenders to the front of the trailer on the frame rails...well...I'm sure to fall in. Frequently. The problems with single-handed retrieval at our marina is one of the reasons I'm looking for another marina. -- Email sent to is never read. |

No arguments from here. Just trying to provide an alternative to walking in

I've actally seen a few trailers set up with foot pegs on the front post. |
