    Boat Speed?

    No, don't rev engine past 2000 rpm in neutral. A whale tail fin may help, but they don't perform miracles. You have to solve the problems first, get engine set up correct first. Then, maybe try the fin. Many people swear by them. Many people swear about them. They seem to work best on smaller...

    Short Ramp Hang-up

    I made this skid plate for my trailer. One for each side, 1/4" steel. I had since put a 3" x 3" spacer between the trailer frame and the skid plate, so it extends down further. It is now 6" from the ground. It easily gets the tire back up on the concrete.

    Trailer Slides

    Keel rollers for a 24' pontoon ? Yes the slides CAN help, if the log surface is smooth, painted, and rivet free it will work better. Finding a way to back further in would be better, or switching to o cantilever trailer would work too, but they are a pain in the butt in my opinion. If those...

    Here is my Starcraft, with a flip down telescoping ladder. Mounted it vertically, used a piece of starboard for a standoff and to protect aluminum from scuffing. when flipped up, it is secured with a velcro strap. Easy to deploy from the water if I ever fall overboard when fishing alone.

    Is this old boat a Starcraft ?

    Looks a lot like my Starcraft Nassau. Dual step pads, transom caps, dual rub rails, What I can see or the front of the bow looks like it too. Obviously the floor, transom, side panels, seats, and windshield are not original, and the splash well removed. But the hull loos like a late 60's...
