Hello,
I have a 2008 Chaparral SSi 190 on a LoadRite roller trailer that came with the boat. I am not the original owner. This is the second boat I've owned and trailered regularly.
The rollers are all the way back at the transom. I use transom straps.
Yesterday I noticed the boat bouncing up off the front rollers leaving the ramp. So I hooked up a video camera and went for a ride. Now this may be normal, but it seems that this boat is not sitting down properly on front set of rollers and is way too loose on the trailer.
In this video I am leaving the driveway, you can see the boat floating over the forward rollers on the left side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_kIeHtX_dI
And, when I took a 90 degree right turn on a bumpy road, the right side of the boat completely rose up off the rollers in what appears to me to be way too much. 15 second mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm3CzXt3_Wg
I've always felt this boat seemed back heavy on the trailer.
Can anyone provide any feedback on if this is normal? If not, how to correct? Thanks.
