Lee is correct, not my boat but we (BoatMate) did build the trailer. I keep an eye on this and a number of other sites and post only when I can help or when I can promote BMT.

Thanks for the welcome!

Yup, cheater..... Still, that is one nice trailer and the tires look really nice also. If I can ask, how much was that trailer?

[spharis]

I vote aluminum, but I know it isn't blingy enough for some.

Extreme makes a really nice trailer.....

That tri-axle probably retailed for $7.5k - $8k.

Calling your customers back when they leave multiple messages asking for a quote on a new trailer for an older Tige boat would be a sweet way to promote your trailers.

Sorry for the hi-jack.

I tell you, the think I love most about my DHM trailer, is the crash post setup up front. You just drive the boat up unto the bunks and go til you hit the suckers, hook up and leave. If you put the trailer in the water, so that you have to drive up on the bunks some, your boat will be perfectly centered without having to float it around at all. Even if your weight in the boat is a bit off balance, and even if the boat ramp is not completely level, driving up in this way will center the boat perfectly every time, and those crash bunks do not do any damage to the boat. One time my wife went too deep, and I hit them alot harder than I should, and no issue.

I just drive up, go til I just touch them, my son clips the bow hook, and away we go, always centered on the bunks.

Also, the folding tongue is EXTREMELY easy to fold and unfold.

Here is a pic of the folding tongue, with a traditional front end:


And here is a picture of the crash post setup, you can see how they make it a no brainer as far as how far to pull your boat in.

Ragboy hit that one on the nail... There was one time I came in a little fast with the 24Ve and smacked them HARD.. Everyone around the dock stared at me thinking that I damaged my boat. Nope, hooked that boat right up to the trailer and drove up the ramp without a problem. And no damage at all.

However, with an any RZ, they are not putting the crash bumpers on the trailers.

Good point on the RZ, but I love those things. You could do it on the RZ, they would just have to be designed, just for the RZ.

Don't you guys just put the hook against the rubber stop anyways? Seems like a no-brainer to me....

[ragboy]

y, my last 2 boats were like that, but sometimes in windy conditions, you can be to the left or right of it a little, or hit to hard and roll over, not often, but it can happen. Those crash stops just make it real simple. My last boat had a dual roller you came up against, and it was a pain to get the hook in the middle of it.

[da.bell]

I get as close to the rubber stop and then wench it into place. I have never had to drive up the ramp and check to see if the boat is level on the trailer. However, I am sure they could put the "crash bars" on the RZ trailers.. Heck, MB Tomcats that I see around here have them on there. They are angled slightly outwards.

Its not something I requested, or even thought I needed. This is the trailer my Tige just came with. But when I used them, I loved em.
