My very first time unloading my Brand New Tracker 175 TXW, buddy tapped the brake going down the ramp and luckily I was close enough to the water ( motor still up ) and it came off the trailer before we new it! Scraped the skep but no major damage. May have taken a 1/4” off of it. I asked the salesman about it and he stated that these boats have one of the best clear coats on the market! I believe him. My boat has been thru some tough stuff ( ran it up on an underwater stump )!

Don’t unhook until you are ready to start your motor!

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.

thank you fellows for the information about the boat, I will not unhook the latch until it’s on the water, thank you again I paid way to much for this boat to damage it at the boat landing.
