Default Re: 1988 V20 with 225 Honda

I have no idea - right now, anything is possible. I'll go to the weight station and "GIT 'R DONE".
Just had another thought. I have a hell of a time getting the boat all the way up on the trailer.
I back the trailer down into the water and position it so the fenders are just above the water. Then I drive the boat onto the trailer. Once it stops, I have my buddy see if it is far enought up on the trailer - it never is and he signals to me to come forward a foot and a hlf or so. I rev the engine - the boat goes forward some - then won't go any further (and I have the engine really revved up. I have to have him back up the trailer (slowly) - at the same time, I rev the engine and get it further up on the trailer. This process is repeated until my buddy lets me know that the boat hit the front roller. He then pulls the unit out of the water. Upon checking everything (on shore), the boat is 2" away from the front roller. We try and crank it up - it is a ball busting job - that boat just does not want to move on the trailer !!! Just can't get it cranked up all the way to the roller. I thought maybe I had to spray some sort of lubricant on the 2 sliders. They look like 2x6's with a carpet covering.
What happens is when the rig is pulled out of the water, the boat settles on the trailer, and comes to rest 2" from the front roller (which it was hitting before the boat was pulled out).
I will persue the boat being TOO HEAVY aspect of my problem.
thanks God.
