Any 💩’s from the side may top “pot the Jus”.🤣
Got to love the typos here.😂😂

But...it’s just a matter of time before B.B. comes up with another gem.🤪

I think yours looks a bit low, any shits from the side?

No steep incline followed by decline till we figure this out
Shits from the side tend to happen after a tough day of towing the kids around on a tube attached to the bow eye.

Jeff it sure looks like your trim isn't up as high as AJs. Are you sure it's up?

A7 covered this already, but you should have a trailer trim switch somewhere. I have a remote trim on the transom, and it'll raise it higher than the shifter trim will. I'd get that sucker right up underneath your deck as close as possible.

Thanks, but it’s up all she’ll go. The upper portion of thr outdrive is against the swim platform. I found a picture of the boat on another trailer with the higher brackets and it looks good, so that is what I’ll do when we head back down to Florida in October. (Had to leave her with the kids, couldn’t tow it home right away).

Thank everyone for your tips... and shits! 🤣

You can see what a taller bunk bracket on the same trailer will get me, so that’s the plan. Found the pics on the marinas website.

I can't believe they don't notice that themselves. Are you in saltwater? I didn't look where your from. I think im 7feet from the ground to the top of the windshield.
I hope they didn't put their LBC sticker on your boat that crooked. Lol

Yes, it’s saltwater down there, but it’ll be more freshwater when I get it home. I’m not all to happy with this dealer, but they were the only ones with a decent selection of used boats.

Haha, no, that LRC sticker came off before I bought it. My OCD couldn’t take it!

Oh I see. I didn't go back to the beginning to see if was a 2015. It looked new. Yes those stickers always come off.
I know Matt deals with this to but what the Young kid that put it on doesn't relize that it effects the whole dealership.

Talked to the dealer today, they will replace the bunk mounts and raise the boat when I’m back down there in October. Man, I’m so glad, it was eating me alive!

That's good. Glad they are stepping up.
