Thanks for the feedback everyone. I’ll give that restore a try!

Lets see a picture of that bad boy.

Thanks everyone!

would be cool idea if SBC included a sweatshirt with every boat purchase, free advertisement for them!

I couldn’t agree more on the free advertisement! Now that Dean is the big gun i’m sure he’ll see the light and fill my boat with Skeeter Apparel!

Nice looking Rig! I’m dying to get mine in. Did they throw in that nice looking Skeeter Sweater with it?

Dean,

I want one too!!

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

When looking at the birds and lowrance i discovered that these newer units no longer allow the user to enter icons. That was disappointing to find out. Has this been an issue for any of you? When you mark a waypoint can you change the waypoint to identify Weed, Rock, Fish etc?

Thanks!

I’m moving from a 5″ screen to a 7″ screen so i think i’ll be fine there. The 7″ will feel big after what i’m use to. Any feedback from anyone who has actually tested these units?

I’m going to order my new rig tomorrow if all goes well. The hardest part is going to be picking out the color.

Thanks everyone for all the comments. I’ll have tons of questions i’m sure as i’m waiting for my new boat to arrive this spring.

You should build a bigger garage. You are going to hate having a single axle trailer.

If you are hitting your bow mount on the bow roller, you have your trailer in too far. You need it far enough out of the water to get the bow to start going up the bunks before the TM gets to the roller. The steeper the ramp, the less trailer I have in the water. Every boat/trailer has a different sweet spot, and every ramp will be slightly different.

I’m not really understanding the need for a bigger garage just because of the tandem axles? Is the trailer that much bigger with having another axle underneath it?

I agree with the loading problem on hitting your trolling motor. There shouldn’t be any reason that your hitting your motor. The only time I have had an issue was launching one time. Had the trailer in too far and I was launching by myself. Other than that it should ride up the bunks and nothing should hit.

He said he has limited space in his garage, which is why he is going with a single axle trailer. I assume he needs to move it around by hand. It is near impossible to wiggle a tandem into a spot.

---

That is correct. I’ve never owned a double axle but I’ve been told there hard to move around after you back them in.

PS: Building a bigger garage is not an option!

Thanks for all feedback everyone! I have limited space in my garage which is why i’m going with the single axle trailer. I will order the rails for the back of the boat.

Question: I fish by myself a lot and am use to roller trailers. Are the bunk trailers fairly easy to load and unload by yourself? Where is the sweet spot when backing in for ideal loading?

Thanks!
