What is advisable , trailer my 220s with the arch up or down.
Thanks

Up. I wouldn't think of towing it down. What would it be resting on and supported with it in the down position?

Thanks, new boat , never had a arch

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

Glad to here that, Love the boat. Thanks for the advice!

What does this so called boat look like? Is it black red blue or taffy color?
And welcome to the chat

Its a 2020 220s. Red hull, white bottom with a tan boot stripe. White tower with red Bimini, Terra interior
300 H.P Volvo duo prop.
Custom made Phoenix Trailer so it will fit in my garage. worked with Wes, a Tommy's in Clermont. Great honest guy and dealership!

Thanks again for helping, Much Appreciated!

What are the tricks to boating in lakes in Florida. Gators freak me out

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!

Both the R series my friends have tow with the arch up. ( Bimini tucked away ) They say due to bouncing and movement.
So let’s get you to new members section, and see this Red combo!
It’s a crowed favorite!

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!

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 me ... Still better that an alligator I guess.
