All neat gadgets -- I watched the video and I have never seen a device like that. I am sure all these are fine but they still keep the weight of the motor on the transom.
1.Just stop at the nearest W-mart, pick one up on your way to pick up boat.
2.Pick up boat and first chance you get on the way home, buy one.
3.Take a chance and if you damage the skeg, prop or worse, the gear case, you'll
really wish you bought the transom saver.
Just a thought, Ed
The karavan trailer that came with my 15' sport does not have the cross beam at the back end of the trailer. It lies back far enough, under the boat, to make the standard transom savers impractable. That is why I found the rubber wedge my best option {as linked to on my previous post}.
adrian961 brought up a good point. My old trailer had bunks that ran off the back with no cross member at the rear of the boat. That would be a very limiting factor of the transom saver. You must have a rear roller or cross bar that is all the way to the back of the boat.
