300#? That’s it’s??? We’ve had 3-4 adults standing on ours at once at around 600# at least. At the dealer we had enough people on the platform to cause the tongue jack to bounceQuote:

I tow with them every time. Don't go full HAM on them, but it'll keep the bout out of the bed of the truck in the case of an emergency!

My dealer told me I didn’t need straps and just the winch strap would be ok. I wonder if that’s his truck...

My dealer said about the same thing. I laughed and told them to get the straps for me anyway. They never leave a 5 mile distance from the marina, I town 100+ miles each way every weekend!Quote:

That truck must have some serious f'g brakes and the trailer bunks must be made of teflon or HDPE.

Appreciate it! Had a local shop do it and they used a 2-3 stage polish and I believe Carbrite 9H ceramic.Quote:

If you think about it it seems like the vast majority of the boaboats weight will always be resting on the bunks, something has to really be going wrong (ie boat is lifting off the trailer) for a substantial amount of weight to be put on the straps. At the end of the day, my dealer installed the straps and told me where to mount them, if something goes wrong in normal use it will be on them I guess.
