capt_chuck If you will get rid of the junky crap on that fron crossmember and install another crossmember up there.
2in X 2in X 1/4in and install foward keel bunk's you will improve loading ease by 100%.
The Stem pick's up on the foward keel bunk's and guide's the boat stright up to the winch stand center, even if the steering wheel is turned some.
I will not have a trailer without them. It makes loading so easy and fast on the ramp, it will make other people fooling around on the ramp to load head's spin.
Those hard plastic pad's and V'd PVC pipe's have been known to skin the gellcoat off the Stem/Keel area.
