Process

Photos, weight, one clear package.

Tires

Tires & Texas heat

ST ratings, pressure, DOT age, after ramp.

Drop/rise, level frame, driveway realities.

Process

Winch

Strap vs cable & bow stop

Electrical

Lights not working

One side dead, flicker after ramp, grounds and plugs.

Tongue

Tongue jack use

Hitching, storage, not a wheel-change lift.

Securement

Tie-downs & bow stop

Snug load so the hull does not walk on the highway.

Ramp

Launch & retrieve

Shallow Texas ramps, re-float instead of grinding.

Storage

Summer storage in Texas heat

Tires, hubs, sun, plug, rodents, periodic roll.

Hitch

Hitch ball size: 2" vs 2-5/16"

Match the ball to the coupler stamp — “kind of fits” is the danger.
