Porta Bote under trailer?

I considered the same thing one time, but when I looked at the possible axle movement, there was not enough clearance between the frame and the axle. However, with that said, you could raise the frame higher above the axles using these:

Thanks Jim,

I didn't consider the axles compressing. The boat would do that.

After looking under the trailer and taking some measurements, I might be able to fit the boat in front of the axles if I extend the boat to just behind the tongue jack. There is an electrical pipe conduit under the trailer that will prevent me from tucking the boat up as far as possible, but it might be possible.

It's been raining lately and I'm backed up on other projects, but am going to look into it when I have more time.

Thanks everyone for your input,

Jeff
