Nice boat, Great truck!

Now for my usual critical eye... get off your butt and get the boats "splash graphics" painted onto that big white truck!

Experiment with loading the boat 1 foot back to the rear and see if you can better balance out the heavy tongue weight and get your truck front end back level, consider a load leveling hitch, last resort some Firestone Air bags in the rear.

Or maybe I am all wet and it is just camera angle but you look rear low and front light in the first photo.

That is one nice looking setup you have there.

That boat is fantastic.

Fred I noticed the same thing, I reckon some load levelling bars could fix that though...

The trailer looks level, the truck needs a drop down stinger then some leveling. It looks as though if you were to raise the truck up in the rear that the trailer would be nose high, and may drag at the rear. Trailer set-up is an task most of us don't take the time to do, but we should. Weigh your trailer, make sure 10-15% of the weight is on the tongue. The trailer frame needs to sit level and the tow vehicle needs to be as level as possible for good driving, braking and night vision.

Really hard to tell with that one photo cuz I suspect the asphalt rises back towards the shop.

A drop down ball will bring the trailer nose down some (I think it looks about 3-4" high in the photo but first need to reduce tongue weight some because it looks like the truck squats hard in the rear.

"The truck is a 03 f250 cc 4x4 v-10 and the boat is a 04 LAVEYCRAFT 24 Nu Era with a 496 mag ho motor "

That truck should take a lot of weight out back but maybe just a set of F350 blocks put it back to azz high no load (I suspect he has leveling kit on the front)

On the other hand if the lake is just down the block who gives a crap.... Just go skiing and fugitaboudit!
