Thread: "Project" Crappie Barge II

Take it back to BPS with the boat on it. Hopefully you will get a salesman that knows something about boat trailers.

Looks to me like sliding the jack and bow stop forward about a foot would get it pretty much where it needs to be.

I agree with everyone else though, as is that is not going to good for the hull long term. Bunk boards should always go under the transom.

I’m with some of the others. Looks to be a couple of feet short to me at least.

Yeh and it wont do any good to put longer bunks on it because the axle will still be too far forward. Hang a motor on the back..put gas tank and batterys in the back and with axle that far forward there will not be enough tongue weight and the trailer is gonna fish tail back and forth going down the road. Not enough tongue length to move the winch stand forward enough either dosent look like. Anyway it's not right.
