Location: Wishin I Was Fishin' | I agree with Shep, but I don't use flimsy straps on the back of my boat either. I use a 2" Monster Edge trucking strap. I also beefed up my transom saver by welding a heavy one piece aluminum tube to both ends. My motor doesn't bounce. My boat is an old 88' Stratos Pro201 which needs all the help it can get for the transom. If had a new Ranger I would probably still use one but it wouldn't be as crucial. I scaled my rig with just the trailer tires on the scale and it went 4,300 lbs.  |
