    Default This is what it looks like in case anyone was considering the setup

    Note the straps that secure the boat and motor:

    There must be forward strap attached to the hitch to prevent the heavy weight of the stern load from raising the bow straight up when unloading into the water or loading on the trailer!

    The heavy gas motor will rock on transport putting a strain on the backboard, thus the strap.

    (Battery also in the stern.)
    Four straps in all.
    The tires are rated for speeds up to 60 mph.

    Granted, a large boat will get you there faster, but there are limits to where you can go: i.e. in 3 FOW; plus the large profile can spook very shallow fish as it crashes through the weeds. I work the oars to slide quietly into areas and work open water spots slowly.
