Re: Trailer modifications
The boat overhangs from the trailer end 16 inches, the bunks overhang past the boat 3.5 inches, I want to replace them with rollers and move them forward 4-6 inches.
With the outboard up in the air, the propeller is out from the end of the trailer 4 feet and 2-6 inches.
To me this is really far from the tail lights, kind of like if you have something hanging out of your vehicle over a certain amount, you need a red flag, in the dark I could see someone hitting my propeller, and I would be liable for it, because the lights are so far from it.
Safety, I might not be the safest on the road, but I do stay close to the speed limit, I think a car coming up behind me 20 + miles over the speed limit is more dangerous than this 1000 pound boat.
