Really nice boat.What kind of rod holders are those?Awesome trailer.
Oops. Looks like I posted this in the wrong place.
They are a rod holder that War Eagle makes. The base is similar to what is used for a seat base, but smaller. They will swivel 360 degrees and have a cog that will hold it in position. And I love the catwalk on the trailer. It goes from the fender to the tonge, with another one running down the center for loading and unloading.Quote:

Nice rig! I like the trailer too, what brand is it?
Yea that trailer looks interesting, I haven't seen one with a step all the way around it.
That's a fine ride. That catwalk is gonna be handy. Congrats
Very nice!!! Congrats
It's a Haulrite. I bought it from Counce Marine in Memphis. The dealer said he had so much interest in the trailer when it was on his showroom floor that the next order from War Eagle were all coming with that type of trailer. That catwalk is one of those things you look at and wonder why it hasn't always been done that way.Quote:

I guess it'll do if you're into that sort of thing. :)

Nice looking rig.
Great looking boat...yep, I like the trailer too.
The trailer was the first thing I noticed also.. Man that is an awesome design. You are right. They should all be built like that... Nice boat also... It looks great...
That is a great looking rig...
Next time you're out fishing, dump that janky boat in the water and get us some pics of the trailer iffen ya don't mind.

Well now I'm ticked. I bought a brand-new Haulrite to replace the other trailer than came under the Grizzly but it doesn't have those walkways......... :( That's a wonderful addition and I want it on mine!!!!!!! <sigh>
I bet EZ could fab some up for ya no problem.Quote:

ES, are you saying your the expert on 1st time boat rides ? LOL !!! sorry couldn't resist that shot. That is a nice rig, I'd love to have that trailer.
Break in with a boat usually involves it being in the water ES...
Now that's funny I don't care who you are !!!
Nice looking boat, should give you years of good times!
nice rig!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it, I like it all.
I have been launching and loading boats on a trailer for 35+ years and I have never once had to walk down the sides or the middle of my trailer for anything. The cat walk looks cool as all get out but I swear I don't how they would be used. Somebody splain it for me. Nice rig!
As you mentioned, the catwalk down the middle is pretty much useless. I think it is for people that don't back far enough into the water and have to push their boat off the trailer. The catwalk around the outside, now that's a different story. That one is as useful as a pocket on a shirt for loading and unloading. When the boat is on the trailer you can just step up on it and reach things, or step over into the boat.Quote:

Catwalk down the middle - At Grenada, that'd be nice, expecially with water this low. Lot of folks drive out to creeks and dump their boats off in a creek or drop off. The hitch is, it don't take much lake bottom mud or too much boat or not enough truck to get stuck. With a catwalk, you can just wet the back of the hull, climb on the trailer and push the boat off. The catwalk gives you better foot hold to push it off. And a place to walk back up when retrieving. With a 14' boat and the right angle, you don't even have to wet the trailer tires.....now, with this boat...you better have a bunch of truck, or some good ground under it if you tried that, but that's the basic purpose I see.
The runners though...I want 'em. I keep a 2 step ladder beside my boat at home because you can't climb up and over it except at the axles without it.

Nice, real nice.....
good looking rig, got one comming myself with 115 yam. wondering how it handles and speed?
Ride and handleing is very nice. I just got the right prop on it yesterday; top speed is 43 MPH.Quote:
