    I didn't even think of that aspect! Now I don't want to even use the boat until I correct that! My heart just sunk to the floor. Damn!

    That looks really clean! I'm not so sure I want to eliminate the lifting ring in case I need to lift the boat off the trailer. On the other hand, I find the ski tow ring pretty useless. Maybe I could...

    1973 GT21 at auction on bringatrailer.com

    Looks like a pretty clean boat that was used on Lake Tahoe. I'm familiar with their dock in the photos. A VERY affluent area that leads me to believe the boat was well cared for.

    Electric brakes are a huge bonus, however your tow vehicle might not have enough especially if you're towing thru some big hills/mountains. Make sure your mirrors are wide enough too.

    I was able to find an older post that addresses this. Looks like I should throw the stock Donzi seat sliders in the trash and replace with Garelick. They offer a standard and a millennium version.
