I have to pull my boat out of the water for the first time today. As a first-time boat owner I'm a little bit antsy about it. I had to rebuild the trailer the boat came on because it just didn't fit the boat. The rollers didn't make contact and the bunks seem to be in the wrong position. I've cut off 20 + bolts and replaced the bunks and a whole bunch of u-bolts.
I don't know if there's an answer but is there anyway to assure that the boat is going to fit properly or at least as close as possible without putting the boat on the trailer. I would like to be ready to go and do as many adjustments as possible before attempting the haul out. I've got to pull the boat out of the river and the current will be ripping so that's adding to my angst and I was just wondering if there was a method two laying out a new trailer for a specific boat. Thanks in advance and I appreciate all the help you guys have been to first time boat owner who's also just about ready to receive his senior discount
