I have been reading this forum, and keeping my eye on the classifieds. After much thought and a few delays I finally got my tin can. Shes a 1983 Bass attacker by Sea Nymph. She is 16'6 long and 48" bottom 70" beam. Its a great stable fishing platform. She is sitting on a 2004 shorelander with berring buddies and swing away tongue. The trailer is overkill for the boat, and there will be more on this later. Motors are 50 HP mariner gasser, 48lb motor guide up front, 65lb Minn Kota transom mount. Previous owner pulled up all the wood and relaced with marine grade aluminum plate (although didn't do a great job of it) She is ready for the lake today. There are some changes I have in mind, but recommendations are welcome. Sticking with the tinboats motto, here are some photos to proove that it exists.
Now the issue I have with the trailer. The thing has surge brakes and have a small hill on my driveway. When backing up the driveway, the pressue on the tongue, is enough to engage the surge brakes, Is there any way to adjust the brakes so this doesn't happen? Here is a pic of the mechanisim.
