Bubba has a new Stinger
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.
Truth generally lies in the coordination of antagonistic opinions

I'm thinking that a pivot point would solve that problem.

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.

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.

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:
