We got into the water today ( sunday) & put 2.5 hours on it. had a good time just putting around the lake. Appricate everyones input. It appears how deep you need to go with the trailer depends on the dropoff at the ramp. Took a couple trys and loaded & unloaded with out any incidents. Have checked all the bilge thats seeable and it appears to be clean whith out any depree.

Thanks everyone,

Larry

This is some great information. I'll have to check the bilge on a regular bases through the first summer. Thanks.

Ok, I have one more tip for new owners.

Whenever you disconnect the trailer from the truck, block the wheels (front and back) ---no matter how "flat" the surface appears.

I didn't, and ended up clinging to the bow while taking a wild ride down my driveway stern-first, then after a quick switch in direction, bow-first through the woods. Got lucky and went over an embankment. So, the trailer tongue got driven into the mud and stopped us before we hit anything big.

It took 4 wheel drive, chains, and all my remaining pride to extract the rig (backwards) from the woods. Bad scene.

Excellent advise, thanks.

Informative yet funny. Thanks for sharing.
