Title: H bar?
Post by: Oldskoocheetah on September 02, 2012, 07:54:43 AM

Can I buy one of these for my trailer, or this something that has to be made and welded on?

Unless you have a rub rail I wouldn't reccomend it. Mine rubbed flat spots on the boat where it was touching.

I would assume someone would have to make it for you

I remember FORKEDUP got jacked up a couple times from a front stop like that.

The more I look at that, the more I dislike it..... Two small pressure points on the most vulnerable part of the hull?

I would much rather see a large pad across that whole area, it would have to be custom built either way, that thing looks sketchy.

Agreed.  I just use 2 straps...one forward and one backwards from the bow eye...let's the boat move a bit with trailer flex, but won't rub a hole in it.
