2026 ihra outlaw drag boat racing series schedule Hopefully at least a few more are added, it's a starting point though! Do i need 4x4 to lauanch boat If you get a locking rear end and are careful a 2wd will handle most ramp situations I have seen some 2wd owners carry a set of traction mats just in case It really depends on the ramp, how deep you need to launch and the surface conditions

I know of some ramps that a 2wd is fine and some where a 4wd is required Boat bouncing on trailer how does you boat ride/sit on your trailer My small trailer has rollers up/down the center with bunk boards on either side One of the rollers is near the front, about as far front as it can be and still be under the boat (this is the most forward support contact point).

Trading my motorcycle for a boat don't know for sure, but i bet the second one would want more than a 5 or 6 hp motor My 12' home made boat tips the scales at 160 lbs (with out motor, gear, people) and my 6 hp merc is decent, but not blazing I'm looking for a 7.5 to try on it next It is an interesting hull, though, and i'd love to have it as a stable fishing/hunting platform Roller trailer and boat positioning i have a dual axle trailer with rollers for my 24' boat

I have also had 2 other boats with roller trailers

I have always had to get the top of the fenders just under the water to be able to load and unload properly Boat tilts to the left at full power the sharpest section of the v hull is in the front, and pushing the bow down too much makes the boat rock on the forward keel like a teeter totter The engine rotates clockwise so the boat tends to unwind counter clockwise Very common issue with hydrofoils.
