Naw, the Terrova slides under it real easy.

The only issue I may have is launching on a steep ramp. The TM sticks out, and may catch the bow roller. I'm thinking about putting a removable TM mount on it for those times. The one where you leave the rectangle piece on the boat instead of the slide on model. I wanted my TM as close to the end of the boat as possible so it wouldn't pull off center so bad. They used to make a bracket that slid back out of the way and then slid back into operating position after you launched. I had one on my Ranger back when the Auto Pilots first came out, but haven't seen one of those in quite awhile now.

Very nice ride Big River!

Boat looking good for sure. About the TM hitting the bow roller, I found that if I slow way down as the back of the boat begins to float it is no longer a problem. Give it a try, might work for you too.

Maj, you already got it figured out bout as well buy it.

My pics make the boat look way narrower than it really is. This is a WIDE boat, and I can't wait to show it to y'all. See ya at Grenada next week. I'll be the fat guy in a red Xpress. LOL

Thanks Maj. I'll give that a try. I haven't had a problem yet, just trying to figure out if I might have one. I did lower the bow roller so when I crank her down hard it pulls the bow down about 6 inches. When I release the strap, the bow comes up and the TM clears the roller.

Bigriver that boat is really taking shape nicely...good work!!!!!!!!!!!
