Last weekend did some investigating here around V.B. checking the water and such, and while is was running around i kinda ran up on a reef but i was going slow. Went under the boat yesterday to observe the damage and found something i was not pleased with. What i thought might have been oyster damage turns out to be Lag bolts that or sticking through my trailer boards about a 1/4" to much. (I WAS PISSED). will post pics later for ya'll to check out, and give me opinions on what i should do. Keep in mind the boat is 10 months old, and you would not believe the scratches.

I hate that for you... I check my boards everytime I launch or load. I guess it's just a habit. Not only do I look at them but I run my hand over them and shake them.

It's not at all the brackets just one. And where the boats sits on it, you can imagine the damage from bouncing on it many times on a 2 hr trip to big lake

I would assume based on your name you have an xpress. I have one to and I think the warranty on the trailer (backtrack) is one year. However, not sure what is part of the warranty.

Good idea, I never do that but I will now!

oh, those are just little scratches you can live with that! J/K I'd be pissed!

BIGJ · #14 08-07-2011, 10:28 PM

Man that looks nasty. Somebody would be fixing that.

Ray · #15 08-07-2011, 10:54 PM

Dat's bad.
I hit an oyster reef at 35 mph and didn't do that much damage.
Just a few gel coat scratches.

Salty · #16 08-07-2011, 10:58 PM

If that was a Haynie.....the gelcoat would have smashed that bolt head.

flounder_smacker · #17 08-07-2011, 11:11 PM

thats poor design using lag bolts. should be countersunk on the top of the board with a bolt and nut on the other side. id tell them to fix it and do it right like it shoudl have been done.
