![]() So just wondering what other folks experiences have been and any suggestions. ![]() ![]() On my boat, the center panel is glass, cracked from corner to corner likely from bouncing in the waves for years. You see lots of older boats missing the center walk-through panel. But in Washington State we have some steep grades in places and steep grade boat launches. I agree, the center window should not be made out of glass. I am not doing any great towing around of the boat as the places I would want to go are with 30 miles of each other. But my concern is that the weight of the trailer and boat will over power the brakes. It has grooves in the cement to provide gripping. The primary place I am launching the boat in Washington State, has a pretty steep grade. Surge Brakes could be added, but when reversing to launch the boat they wont be of any use. Also, as it will be put in saltwater it is not recommended to use electric brakes. However the trailer is rated for under 3000lbs so does not come with brakes (it is a 1991 Calkins trailer). I see that the manual states the trailer should have brakes if carrying more than 1000lbs. The boat with motor, gear, and trailer is about 2300lbs ( boat 1100lbs, motor 300lbs, trailer estimated at 700lbs, if full gas 110lbs ( 18 gallons) and light amount of gear.
