Yes - the bowsprit would be a problem if you tried to haul the boat on the trailer the way it is. If it became a problem I'd just extend the trailer tongue. I've already done that once. I could always get out my sawzall in a pinch! I lower the tailgate while launching and retrieving for visibility and to make sure the bowsprit does not hit the top of the tailgate.Catigale wrote:Aubrey...from your pic of the boat on the trailer it looks like your bowsprit swings over the pickup bed when trailering..is t hat right?
That would be important for someone with an SuV contemplating that mod...they might have clearance troubles....
Oh - and the headliner inside the boat is an outdoor fabric I got from Jo-Ann Fabrics. It used to be dark blue shag carpet. Shagadelic Baby.
