No. It gives Brande panic attacks and I think it contributed to the premature wear on my front ball joints.

Made a camping trip up on the Pendo'reille river this week. Maybe 200 miles round-trip without any problems. One comment at the ramp while I'm loading both boats......"pretty slick trailer, I like it".

I built my own hitch hauler in about an hour and a half. My Duramax has a 2.5” receiver and I hate the added slop with the receiver reducer to get back to the standard 2” hitch shank. So my main tube is 2.5” 1/4 wall and the rest is angle / flat stock to try and keep it light yet strong. One of the main places I ride is a gravel shore - zero sand - so I wanted to be able to beach the ski but not destroy the bottom of it. Hence the hitch hauler / beach stand combo. The stand fits in the hitch hauler tight, and the ratchet straps that go on the ski always go to the hauler - not to the beach stand. Works awesome couldn’t be happier. It works pretty well to watch the back yo camera - you can watch the ski start to float and know just when to stop.

Love the Teflon coated! I’m in fresh water in Michigan so couple primer and a few coats of paint will do for me! Still need to find a way to haul the ski and the skater at the same time.... stand by!

What’s it rated for Chris? I don’t like the thought of the extra 2.5’ of leverage on the hitch receiver. I’ve got quite a bit of room on the tongue of the trailer I think I’ll weld a 3” OD 1/4” wall tube to the tongue of the trailer and put the ski hitch hauler on that.

Nice boat....!!!! I wouldn't tow that beiind a hitch hauler... TAKE ME FOR A RIDE!!!

 

[Big Kahuna]

Nice Dingy there Rossman!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rossman]

Thanks fellas. It will be another year or so before the boat is done as I’ve got the transom cut off of it at the moment. Going to do a wrap around windshield, try to make the cockpit a 6 seater, and add a bustle with steps on the back. Tons of work yet to do.

Oh forgot to mention too... I built some mud flaps that pin on and off. Didn’t want any stone chips in the new Krash!
Not the sexiest but they get the job done
