btw, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see a stop on the front of that trailer. What stops the boat if you have to slam on the brakes at high speed? The transom straps won't. That could get really ugly.

Steve, you are asking for trouble! But seriously, for years I couldn't convince dad to run trailer tires, he'd often run car tires and no problems. I wouldn't do that but hey, that's why I bought my own so I can call my own shots.

Ok, I'm sure I'll be roundly flamed, but for what it's worth, my used CC trailer came with car tires on the trailer. I said I would replace them as soon as I could, but they've done fine. They run pretty close to the fenders, but no evidence on the tires of any contact. I bring it up because it sounds like you're going to tow all of one time in the next few years. Maybe used car tires would make sense... but you have to make the call.

Ok, flame away! I can take it.

I have run car tires on several trailer and have NEVER has a problem!!!

It used to have another layer of boards custom cut to the hull contour that held it tight, took them off because it rode too high for the more gradual shallow ramps here in GA. Now plan to retrofit a new-style CC bowstop from Zach.
