  1. 20231012_161940.thumb.jpg.e67eb8c29aaea4d4856d0109406d3a5c.jpgGood evening Fishstix, I have a boat trailer that I've been reconditioning this fall. I stopped for now because I did not think anyone would be looking for a trailer in November. I still need to put the new bunks and carpet together and I've got a new wiring harness to replace the old one. It has new tires, bearings, springs, side marker lights, fenders ,and winch strap and it's aluminum. It's a 2008 Venture VATB 6425  and will take up to a 24 - 25' boat. It's like new. I'm planning on asking $4500 for it. here are some pictures: 20231115_135708.thumb.jpg.6f80169e77288c4cf7e484a8b36f6394.jpg20231115_135731.thumb.jpg.d6b927b3ef2a58afb586c00fd2db6c10.jpg

  2. Launched out of Mexico Point on July 4th and fished for about 5 hours and came in. The wind was blowing pretty good making it a little harder than usual to get the boat up to the docks. Someone saw me struggling and offered to help catch and guide the boat to the dock so I ended up pointing the bow at the dock and he caught it. All seemed well, got the boat on the trailer pretty easy and parked it to secure it. Just before leaving, I happened to look at the front portion of my keel and it looked jagged. Gulped and took a closer look and sure enough about 12-14 inches of gell coat was completely scraped off right down to the fiberglass. I never felt a thing and the damage was right in the front. I'm just wondering if anyone else has hit or scrapped rocks or something else near the docks this year. I know the water is lower than usual but I've launched there twice before this Spring with no problem. Just trying to narrow down where the damage occurred so I don't do it again. It's kind of expensive and really kills your long awaited fishing trip(s) for a few weeks. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not sure I want to launch there again until I have a better idea of what I hit.

  3. Check out Fine Tuned Welding.Russell makes a variety of rod tree styles and is very reasonable compared to Traxstech.Traxstech is very good, but expensive and they are unable to keep up with orders right now. You might not get their product for weeks. Russell will respond promptly to your inquiry and get you set up. Very easy to talk to.

  4. My wife just left Middlefield Ohio a couple of hours ago on her way home. She would have driven right by Erie . I bought a boat at the end of last summer that has Traxstech track, but Traxstechs rod trees are quite pricey. I'm sure they would be nice ,but these might work just as good. I like that I can rotate them . I will get back to you soon. Did you say $375 includes shipping? How would you like payment ?
