I hope it is not 300 miles from the lake you use it on. :o

Otherwise I am a complete wimp as I would not trailer it 30 miles on the regular.

Got it! Ok, so after raising the bunks all the way and doubling up the 2x6s, then realizing that there was alittle bit more trim room to go all the way up, I’m able to go up my steep driveway! Thanks for all the help! Here’s a fresh pic of the boat!

Keep an eye on the hydraulic load levelers on that GX. I had one fail twice. Both times it was after a long tow.

Looks better. Where did you find the new trailer? That's not the same one is it?

The right trailer ! Looks good, and it will pay for itself as opposed to changing lowers $$.

Well after raising the bunks and finding that the trim could go higher I gained 2” and now I can go up the driveway without issues. Here’s a couple of pics of my 200 after a good buff.

yrs Found an bigger trailer, painted it and put wheels on it. Still it wasn’t much of a difference on boat height but gave me more flexibility on bunk support options.

Crownie your boat looks awesome! You dont tow with your bimini deployed do you? In those first pics it looks like you did with the cover on and bimini out? I have done that for short distances, like a mile or so to the gas station, but have literally had to go back to pull the cover to get to the bimini because I forgot to do it first.

If you do tow with deployed be prepared to replace the fabric. It'll start tearing from the wind buffeting.

No I don’t tow with binimi deployed or with covers on. Took me a bit to figure out how to set it up and put it back haha. Can’t wait to get on the water. Getting sub woofer installed this week.
