Well boys! It looks to me like someone has just gotten serious about winning da 2017 open water fishing challenge.

 Nice upgrade cody.

[pickelfarmer]

Good for you!! I've been looking to upgrade myself but I got a few more years in my boat. You new boat looks like a fish catching machine for sure! Here is to many many many great days on the lake, catching fish and telling lies about past fishing trips!

[Cody Gruchow]

Thanks! truth be told I was saving up for a wheelhouse an got to thinking id rather update my boat first. One I had was decent an did its job but wanted something a little bigger an nicer

[Rebel SS]

Did I hear someone say Angler   That was the best boat I ever owned until last July Yep, She got totaled in a big BWCA straight line wind storm!

Took it out Saturday just to test it out. Only complaint I have that will take some getting use to is loading it on the trailer. The boats back end likes to swing. Good thing it wasn't busy because I looked like a rookie loading it. Other boat was trailer in on the trailer and hooked up in 2 minutes an out of the water. This one took me some where around the 6-8 minute mark to get her loaded

You'll get used to that. Three boats I have owned so far and each one had it's loading qwerks. My Pro V likes to swing around in back as well. One thing I have learned is to approach the trailer at an angle from one side or the other, not straight on. Mine tends to swing to the left so I approach from an angle on the right side and by the time I hit the trailer, I'm normally dead on.

I found that if I had my first set (stern) rollers just up out the water, then pulling the boat on with the cable, it would line it up perfectly and not allow it to swing...as long as yer bow is tracking straight on bottom roller.

[Cody Gruchow]

That's what I did. Boat likes to swing to The right. Tried coming is from the left but wind was blowing from left to right. Got it in between the trailer guides. Bow goes on straight an had front rollers half out of water. Then got it close enough an just used the winch to pull her up. After a half dozen times I'll get use to it. Might have to put a line/anchor on the front with a landing rope to pull it up close enough to get the winch line on

That's what works for us too, Crestliner FH 1750. Seems like its always windy when we put in or take it out here, so we added some bunks that come 3/4 the way up the side.

[Rebel SS]

I put Fulton stainless padded roller guides on my trailer, left about 1" clearance each side. They'd "turn" and guide the boat right in and on the rollers from out on the water. Worked slick.  No muss, no fuss.   

[Gunner55]

Some composite bunks from Cabela's for us, a little spendy but worth it I think, they come up about another 6-12" than yours appear to.

i'm positive Cody will do just fine................. you other 2 clowns i know need all the help you can get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Now I know why it's so windy when we're over at the PA, because we're too close to you. : sleazy-422.gif

Ya, whatever you say, Cap'n.

 Gonna push the trailer guides in a little to stop it from swinging when I get the bow on. Right now they 3-4 inches or more away from side of the boat. Adjusting it should help a lot leaving a little less wiggle room an keep it straight.

that's how mine are, about 1 inch on each side.  it works for me.

[Gunner55]

Same here, ours were aftermarket ones that we installed ourselves
