Bubba has a new Stinger (part 2)
OK, It's not new but improved/shortened 4'. Works really well and poor Bubba doesn't have to get soaked any longer. Bubba's Happy and the boats Happy
because it gets wet when launching and p/u. I no longer have to drag the boat on and off over dry bunks. And I'm Happy cuz it's all so much easier.
And That's why we make our, sometimes silly, inventions.

beach launch
Russ;
Hitch extension looks great. One final addition you need for the ultimate in beach launch is a couple golf cart wheels/tires. Think the rims are 10
inch and width about 8 inches, perfect for the soft sand, gets the trailer quite a bit lower than what you have now. You can get a good deal on used
ones at places that modify golf carts with larger wheels etc. I paid $20 for each tire/wheel last time. I had a 21 ft alum Bayrunner and beach
launching was a snap with these low wide tires. Just a thought.

Wow! great idea! I've been looking at quad tires and they're expensive and aren't as low profile as a golf cart. Thanks

Is that a swing arm or is it stationary?
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.
