thanks for answering. my problem is difficulty getting the boat back on the trailer. i have a diamond city trailer. no matter how far i put the trailer in the water it is very difficult to run it up to the bow eye and winch. i have to winch it up quite a distance. i feel the ribs in the hull are catching on the guides bunks. it stops dead. i have 35 years of boating with ranger, lund, etc and have never had this problem. have you anything like this with your war eagle? do you have the same trailer? jim 850-274-1604
