I will be picking up this boat this weekend. It appears as thought the winch stand is a bit high and needs to be adjusted so that the Bow stop is located just above the Bow eye with the winch cable just below. It appears however that the winch stand may not be adjustable. Please have a look at the attached picture. Thoughts?

The trailer appears to be the wrong size for this Montauk 17 --- too large. That said, you should be okay towing it home (assuming it is well balanced/braced and secured.) Once you get it home hopefully you can make adjustments or modifications. Hard to tell from the photo, but there may be another set of bolt holes on the winch stand that will let you lower it 3-4" or so.
