Re: TRAILERING MY 220S
Up. I wouldn't think of towing it down. What would it be resting on and supported with it in the down position?

Re: TRAILERING MY 220S
I would never buy another boat without one. I hate that I have to lower it to fit in the garage. At least most of the times I lower it 

It's just very heavy and a pain. I wish I could convert it to a new style that is much easier to raise and lower but I can't

Re: TRAILERING MY 220S
What does this so called boat look like? Is it black red blue or taffy color?

Don't really know, we have a second home on Douglass lake In Tennessee.
I do agree with you, Florida lakes are different, Gators and don't forget those snakes.
Sorry not much help!

Re: TRAILERING MY 220S
Both the R series my friends have tow with the arch up. ( Bimini tucked away ) They say due to bouncing and movement.Rodp wrote: Thu Mar 19, 2020 7:13 pm What is advisable , trailer my 220s with the arch up or down.
Thanks

Hey RodP. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!
Like the others mentioned, I would tow with the arch up. That’s where it is the most stable and strongest if you think about it. Down is really just a storage position.
Feel free to post some pics when you are able. Is your family into water sports?
Again welcome aboard mate!

Re: TRAILERING MY 220S
Funny, but someone got a pic of a black bear swimming across the wide and of Lake Anna in Virginia this summer. Looked to be before sunset. I've seen deer in the lake, but a bear huffing its way towards meBig Block Power wrote: Fri Mar 20, 2020 5:47 pmYep let's jump out and go swimming. Umm nope gator and snakes.
