The front of my bow nails the heck out of the bow stop EVERYTIME I launch. I tried 4 different launches. It is so bad it has torn all the fiberglass of the front tip of the bow. It is a 1994 skeeter bay pro on a 1994 ez loader trailer and everything fits perfect and its easy to get on the trailer. Just impossible to get off the trailer with out nailing the bow stop. Is there a simple solution?

Sounds like you're backing in too far.

One thing that may work for you is a tongue extender (not sure what they are called). They are not for traveling, just for when you reach the ramp you connect it and back down/pull out safely.

Thats what it sounds like to me. Have you tried going shallower? Maybe a different type of bow stop?
