Brent- how stoked are you!!!  Congrats on the boat, she looks beautiful.   Now you've just gotta take advantage of that Texas weather and get out on the water.

Good looking boat Brent.  Looks a lot like the one I'm going to have in my driveway soon.  I like the gravity games logos.  Enjoy!!

Dude, your stoke is contagious. Indeed, I think we're all stoked to have these beauties. And you're right, it's loaded! Ps. Make sure you don't trailer with the tower hat on, as the zippers can 1) chip the powder coat, and 2) come unzipped.

DON'T BE A BONEHEAD LIKE ME -> MAKE SURE YOUR CUSHIONS ARE NOT GOING TO FLY AWAY ON THE FREEWAY. (Cost a pretty penny returning from our first trip to the lake).

Congrats!!!

Ya I towed it with the hat on yesturday and it was flopping in the wind.  From now on unless the bimini top is on i'll probably just tow it with the tower folded down and the boat cover on.  Question: Can I tow it with the bimini top on?  It is the factory bimini top that bolts to the tower...

Can't speak to the bimini. As far as covering while towing, I do that when going on a real drive (couple hundred miles) just for aerodynamics. It's kinda a pain to get the boat cover on good enough to keep it wiggle-free at highway speeds. Usually run a line from the bow eye to the ski point (it's aft on our v-drives) over the windshield. Then put the cover on, and finally run a line over the cover between the very aftmost parts of the tower bases to keep the rear area from ballooning upward. All in all, it's kind of a pain, but required by my other under-displaced vehicle and the need to stuff as much stuff as possible into the the thing (big canoe full of stuff).

Brent, yours is the first trailer I've seen that's got the spare tire setup like mine. Mine was rigged so bad that it's been off. Main problem (besides the tire-retaining bolt corroding into the frame's nut) was insufficient clearance between wheel/tire and keel. Prior owner had a piece of carpet strapped to the tire so 'it wouldn't get black marks on the boat'. In actuality, it looked like a good bounce would put rim against gelcoat. Doesn't look to be a way to make it work (except maybe a narrower spare.)

Check yours out when you get a chance if you would please. And make sure you try to take that bolt out while you're home and not in the desert somewhere.

It's funny that u mention that cause today as i was waxing the boat i noticed some black rubber on the gel coat at the stern right in the middle and was wondering how that got there....  Time for a smaller spare tire probably.
