doubling back on this one. the manufacturer looks to be fixing the issue and sent me a warranty email to complete.
That looks like an alignment issue or the boat is overweight.
Factory trailer with boat. Actually have photos from the dealer when the boat/trailer delivered on the semi as the dealer was just as shocked as we were when the boat delivered. Let’s see what happens…
Nice. Last holiday a guy decided to launch his boat between mine and another and bounced off of mine. #hollidaywarrior
I know the feeling, after my dad passed, we came across the holster and several magazines for his service weapon. Found out from a neighbor that he sold it years ago, as that caused a big fight between he and my mom that the neighbor remembered - she wanted it to pass to me, he just wanted the memory gone. Understandable, but still...Owners manual for my dads deer rifle that he gave away to a neighbor years ago because he thought my brother or I would not want it.

Just spoke with the tire manufacturer. They are sending me two new tires under warranty and cover up to $45 in cost per tire to Mount and balance. Humanity is restored.
If not under inflated, which it should not be at that psi, then check the toe with a measuring tape. Measure at 3 o'clock and compare with 9 o'clock on the tire. Obviously measure the inside between the tires. If toed in it will wear the outside and if toed out it will wear the inside. Camber is measured at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Positive camber will wear the outside and negative camber will wear the inside. Camber is more difficult to measure due to the top of the tire being enclosed in a fender. I have an old Alemite toe bar that my dad has used since the 70's. Very similar to this. SPC Performance Toe Measuring Gauge 39 In.-60 In. 99374
@zipper thank you for the detailed imagery. I want to see if our local tire shop can determine if I have a problem or not.
That’s a $150+ gain IMO
I LOL’ed pretty hard at this one. Pro dad move!
Agree Perrysburg is a nice place. My grandparents lived in Port Clinton Ohio not far away. My grandpa, uncle and stepdad all had our charter boats in Port Clinton. If you have an opportunity to go, check it out.
My wife has spent a month or more in Port Clinton in the last couple of years at https://canvastraining.com/ for her marine canvas business.
One of my uncles is the master mechanic at Marine Max Catawba. He has a 26’ Penn Yan convertible and we had a 28’ Bertram convertible. If you guys can ever plan the walleye drop for new years, I highly suggest you do it.
