Craig, I see the theory here but when you have the bow into this shoe. What keeps the boat in the shoe and on the trailer. i.e.what stops the your skiff from staying in the water when you go and pull the trailer out?

Hey Paul

Do you have any pics of your trailer for your skiff that you can send me. I have adjusted my trailer several times and still having issues with it getting on the trailer far enough ahead each time I pull it out.

Small kicker for my Skiff

I am looking to put a kicker on my Sea Skiff. Ok I know you all cringe when I mention a kicker for my Skiff. But it is alot easier than paddling. To loosen you guys up a bit it will go on my swim platform, so no more holes in my transom. So what I need to know is what size of HP do I need for my 23'?
