1999 215 Osprey on Magic Tilt bunk trailer
« on: July 13, 2010, 05:52:30 PM »
Hi.  I just purchased the boat and trailer this week.  I would like some advice on making tailer adjustments because the bow is way up in the air and the back of the boat sits low.  It is resting just a few inches infront of the rear edge of the bunks.  I saw it launched and retreived and that process was smooth.  Just can't understand why this thing looks like a goose ready to fly.  Funny looking, but trails nicely.  Any advice?

Thanks guys for the replies.  I will get a picture on by Thursday evening.  My guess is that the trailer model #037859 is too short for the boat.  It is a really nice trailer and has 4 wheel brakes.  You never saw anything so dumb before.  I live in NJ and located to boat in FLA.  Got tons of pictures from the seller but none showed this view. Once I got down there to go over the boat, I figured that I would have to deal with the trailer issue once I got it home.  Surprise- no Magic Tilt dealers in NJ!

OK.  I have tried to post the JPG pictures and I keep getting a fatal error.  I hope that's not an omen.  Advice?
