    I think you could get a set of the tall roller load guides set them in tight and it would be impossible to load crooked.

Wonder if the bunks are configured differently or spaced wider or something. No big deal but if you remember, pm me the pic.

    I remember reading where you said yours loaded easily but mine is about to kill me.

    Thanks.

    I think an important disclaimer is that power loading is illegal in Michigan, so I've only loaded the Lund by gently gliding on and winching tight. I follow the same strategy each time we load:
    1) Back trailer in fully submerging both fendors to wet the bunks, and then pull forward so upper tip of front fender is at water surface
    2) Glide boat on with motor in neutral. My wife has had luck simply pulling with a rope from the dock.
    3) Climb in, attached bow hook and winch tight to eye. When I winch it by hand I can feel the boat correct and it lines right up.

    I took some quick photos of the trailer unloaded. Disregard the crappy parking job as this was a quick pull off away from other boats prior to loading for the purpose of taking these photos for you. Yes, I need to clean this trailer!

    I power load everytime, our ramp is so shallow its about the only way I can do it. On another note tell me how you like the boat, I am toying with the idea of selling my 2175 pro v and getting a 2075xs pro v bass. I want more deck space, just not sure if I can get rid of my "cadillac".

    Trading one Cadillac for another isn't a bad thing.
