First time seeing my boat on the trailer

[JimBaygents]

The boat needed a drive service and my marina no longer does service work so I had to take her in to a shop I have used for the last couple of years. I had bought the boat from a friend and took over his slip so I never had to move it. So this is the first time I have actually loaded this beast on the trailer. All went well and this weekend I get to put her back in and be ready for the season!!

When I got my 220EX a couple of years ago, it was kept at a marina on a lift for most of it's adult boat life. The owner had not seen it on a trailer for 10+ years. He helped me get the trailer and get it loaded when I bought it from him, as I was going to keep it in covered storage. He was amazed at "how big it looks on the trailer"! Every time I go to the lake and launch, people comment on the size of the boat...can't just look over the side into it.

If you don't trailer often, check the age of your tires. Anything over 6 years old should be replaced regardless of how the tires look. Look for a DOT date on the sidewall of the tire. It should be something like 3418 which says the tires was manufactured on the 34th week of 2018. Check both sides of the tire.

About 3 years ago it needed to go in for service and my marina would load it and take it in and return it. Needless to say it needed new tires all around. I had a shop do a mobile visit to take the wheels and tires in from my storage lot and replace the tires. They are about 3 years old with about 30 miles on them. thanks for the heads up, I know they don't like to sit.

They do look big when they are on trailers. I've only seen mine on a trailer once (when it was delivered). I don't even own a trailer for it.

When I had my Crownline 252EX on a trailer here in California stored in the RV Lot, for the months that we didn't boat a lot due to rain and cooler temperatures I kept my boat on the trailer and used so jack stands to lift the tires just about 1 inch off the ground as well as covers over the tires to preclude UV degradation. Weekly, we'd drop by, check the boat, and turn the tires to ensure nothing rusted up, etc During the rest of year, the boat and tires would move at least every 2 weeks but we'd still cover the tires when parked during the week.

I saw mine on a trailer the day we bought it and the day we sold it.
