Thanks Diver 5855.......i thouht Railblaza products......i will be ordering tonight. Again good this asked the question. Dave

Thanks.....that looks perfect. What Brand is that and is there a part # for the rail mount......also another part # for the fish finder mount? That looks like the perfect solution (without drilling thru the console). Thanks again - Dave Johnson

Hello Dave from WI here. I just purchased a Hummingbird 9" fishfinder as the current "in dash" one is very small and does not have maps, etc. I also bought a Ram ball mount and was thinking i need to drill a hole thru the right hand side of the console to mount this. Am i missing something -...

Thanks just to clarify, you used a bunk trailor correct ?

To all Once again….overwhelmed by all the good advise I am receiving on this forum- that I just joined within the last week …..thank you very much & greatly appreciated !!! So I may change to bunk trailor yet…… Question: A bunk trailor requires a fairly modess to deeper landing drop off right...

Todd I appreciate the offer…..part of the reason I wanted the scissors was ease of launching and ability to lower boat onto Dollie’s in pole shed up north…..if that’s the route I end up going…have not bought Dollie’s yet. Anyway I greatly appreciate everyone’s input. I will report back once I...

Thanks….advise well taken. Well one dealer (who I did not buy boat from, but was shopping) said he recommends the tandem axle scissors over bunk and said he has no issues with them on highway. Well I will just make sure my insurance is in full effect when I pick up….and drive very carefully...

Just a further update, as far as trailoring much, once the boat makes it 200 miles from dealer to cottage , the most miles it would then be trailored would be 15 miles or so each way a few times per yr. The trophy scissors trailor is a bit wider to fit the Ben 8’6” beam, so that may help in a...

Thanks for both of your responses. I will trailer the boat once from middle of WI to cottage 200 miles in far north central Wi. I went with tandom axle trophy scissors trailor since I heard a lot more stable than single axle…..also much easier to launch in shallower landings should I then take...

Hello I just bought a Ben 20ft pontoon with a trophy tandem axle scissors trailor and will be picking up at the dealer next month. I am used to trailoring a fishing boat, but have never had a pontoon. The dealer emailed me and asked if I wanted them to supply the straps (they said they only...

To the last person commenting, I am taking about the length of a Shore Station lift canopy, not the cover that comes with the boat or the sunshade on the boat. I really wish to thank all of the insight that everyone has provided and still have time to change my order and go with a 26 ft canopy...

Thanks to all of you for your responses and really appreciate the input. Just have to ask as the cottage is in Norther WI and the lift will have to be removed annually, but I suppose it’s harder to take off & put back on a canopy the longer it is away from the boat deck ? That’s what I read...

Let me inquire with the dealer…..good idea. Thanks.

I did just order Friday Shorestation 4000lb hydraulic lift and dealer thought 24ft would be ok… but not sure

Well they have not mounted the motor yet. My other comment was referring to a picture I saw of another boat…..so I agree with you that would be the ideal situation.
