I needed to stop dunking Bubba every time I launched the "Bonehead" so I asked a friend to make up a 10' extension with a 12" riser. I'll get it
painted up this morning and try it out when I get back. FYI... the 12" riser will help keep the tongue up for launching and counter the drop when
weighted down. I hope

Depending on your tongue weight, the physics of a lever state that
Bubba may get lifted high into the air... let us know.Cypress - 9-19-2010 at 11:14 AM

I'm thinking that a pivot point would solve that problem.wessongroup - 9-19-2010 at 11:21 AM

Just add more beer... into the ice chest.... Russ - 9-19-2010 at 01:08 PM
Definitely a valid concern. It's a small boat and the tongue weight is maybe 60# so I'm not too concerned. If I do have a weight issue I can move the
bunks back a few inches. I'm hoping now I can have some one back it in and float the boat so I can be in it and not get wet when the water gets cold.

Russ....that's a 12 footer (?).....how far out do you take it?Russ - 9-19-2010 at 04:49 PM
mcfez, narrow 14' On a calm day & a buddy boat unlimited but normal safe range 15 miles from shore. So far only 10 out and 15 down the coast
line. Summer winds can come up really fast.mcfez - 9-19-2010 at 06:36 PM

Great! The timing sucks though. I'm going North in a couple hours but I'll go and look if I can remember when I return. Thankx Jim
Got it all painted up yesterday:
