Do you not have hooks to put the straps on from the factory?

No , idk why cause the trailer does .. But those straps are rubber insolated and those brackets ain't moving anytime soon .. Lol

If you did want to alleviate stress on the platform, you could go up and over the back end of the boat and just cinch the whole thing down, too. Definitely have something back there whatever you do.

I might just through
Bolt some hold downs so I can fix it permanently . The backing plates have enough overage to allow a great fixed point

Hey Lively great rebuild man boat looks killer, love the orange. Ive got a ? about the A frame u built. Going to strt pulling the top and engine on my Salt later this month and was thinking of stealing ur design. Wanted to know if u used it to pull ur engine as well as cap. Also how it did, any signs of stress so i know to beef it up a bit or if i should be good with what u used. Thx

I used 4 4x4 x12 lumber with 2x4 through bolted for cross support, top is not heavy just awkward and long .. get a few buddies to help pull it and set on
ground, if u pull engine with it, I would deff beef the cross braces up and through bolt everything

What's up guys ! Man what a weekend so far ! I took the family camping and we set up at a local island @eagle mountain lake , tx
It was a blast ! We went tubing , wakeboarding , and jammed out to some great tunes !

Here are some pics of where I'm at so far ...

Looking good! The only thing that (to me) sticks out on that boat is the cheesy registration numbers. Go drop a few bucks at 3dlettering.com and upgrade those!!
