I just bought a new SN200. We do have a fairly steep ramp. The Boatmate trailer is doing damage and wear to the boat on the front reverse chines during launching or loading-not sure which because it is hard to drive ON and Off the trailer. We have tried multiple scenarios to float it on and off the best we can but is impossible, tried varying heights of trailer hitch,etc. We looked at a few other people’s 200s and all of them had varying degrees of wear on the front reverse chines. One had even added a center roller but in my opinion the roller was too high and the boat had severe wear on the center lower bow area.
We will buy a new trailer to prevent damage to the boat. My question is, does anyone have, or know of a trailer made for the 200 that does NOT cause wear to the hull??? Is this something that 200 owners have just come to live with and ignore? If you trailer your 200 and have a steep ramp and have no wear to your hull, please let me know what kind of trailer you have, include pics if possible, with and without the boat on the trailer.
Thank you!
