I just purchased a 2003 speedster 160. It doesn't seem the trailer is set up properly. The boat will not line up with the front roller (hits ring) . Does anyone have the same issue? I am thinking about moving the post up further. Has anyone had similar problems?

Thanks,

Brad

We had this problem from time to time with our 160 Speedster, turns out in our case it had nothing to do with the position of the post. It had to do with the slope of the boat ramp and how far the trailer was in the water. Play around with how far you put the trailer in the water, if it is like ours you will have to find the "sweet" spot where the boat floats properly on the trailer so that it will line up correctly with the roller.

Does anyone have the dimensions for a 160 speedster trailer for the position of the bracket. What I would like to know is from the start of the 3x4 beam what is the measurement to the front of the bracket on the beam. I would like to see if the position is correct on my trailer.

Thanks,
