Dave,
Have you upgraded to the P version of ZO? I am looking to see what kind of task it is to take out and send.

Mark,
I should have a cable on the way in a couple of days. I'll do all of my own upgrades then. I'm still on the original version at the moment and didn't ski yet. (yesterday was the first day the boat was in the water and a couple weeks away from having my shoulder ready to ski after the surgery)

Dave, beautiful boat (as usual)! How do you like the trailer? It looks like the axle is about a foot further back than a Ramlin, which is nearly centered over the engine. It doesnt take much variation to make a huge difference in tongue weight- how does it tow? Im betting theres no way that one person could lift the tongue with the boat on it?

I have had Prestige trailers under my boats every year since '02. They have been improving every year but still have a few issues. In my opinion they are the best out there for me at this time. (I don't like crash pads that they use on some of the others). As for the issues, the guide poles are way too tall, I need to cut them off a little. (If I don't pull off the pvc they would hit the trim at the top of my garage door opening). They claim that people complained to them that they were too short. Hard to imagine for me, since if the back of the boat is floating off the bunks, the trailer is in too deep. Even with the pivot tongue, the trailer is a little long. I actually moved the bow stop as far forward as it would go so it would fit in the garate length wise. It did increase the tongue weight a little, but that is usually a good thing. Trailers tow much better with lots of tongue weight and the 'burb handles it well. They also changed from the oil hubs this year to a new hybrid "liquid grease" hub. I never had any problems with the oil hubs leaking, but the claim is that this system is the best of both worlds. Since they are built by Unique (makers of bearing buddie axles), I believe that they should be pretty good. I also like use of diamond plate aluminum instead of carpeted wood on the runnng boards so there is no wood to stay wet and rot. I also like the stainless steel fender option. They will build the trailer to accept a boat buddy but won't put them on, so I have my dealer do it. Overall, not bad trailers (in my opinion)

It is certainly adequate! You just can't have too much power.
