    21' Lynx

    Hardest boat to load. Any tips or suggestions. We have always had an easy loader trailer. Loading the Lynx is a thorn in my side, haven't found the loading sweet spot yet 😒, not enough trailer in the water won't load, backed more trailer in the water and the boat lifts at the bow and goes over the roller and no im not adjusting it a significant amount. Help please. Look like a Rookie out here at the ramp 😅

    The sweet spot is to have just the very front tip of the short outside bunks out of or dimpling the water. Back in and wet the bunks, pull back out far enough to see the tip of the outside bunks and you're there. This worked for my '18 Lynx and every other Cat I've owned.

    Short boards out of the water. 4 to 6 inches. This helps guide the boat.

    Both BCB I've had loaded best with short bunks right at water surface level. Might try playing with trim position?

    Yeah, like others have said, short outside bunks right at the surface to help as guides. Always worked well on my 18' Lynx and my 25' Jag as well.

    Wetting the bunks first is SO important!

    Absolutely found the sweet spot 2day for loading. Thank you all! Loaded like a dream with the short bunks barely showing out of the water.

    That's great to hear!

    When we are doing demo's and loading, we will purposely come in cross ways, then let the boat load itself to prove they load easily. You just have to have everything in order and at the proper depths.
