I have seen a few of these threads but figure I might as well make my own. We are taking off for Lake Powell on Friday and will be towing my 24Ve 20 hours each way. My trailer tires are in good shape and I have 2 spares. I have a towable cover but last time I tried towing with it it started to come off, and I dont want to cause and noticeable wear on my gelcoat either- so I think I am just going to leave it off. I am sure my interior will be filthy when we get to where we are going, which I dont like but its not too big of a job to wipe it down.
I plan to leave the tower up as there is not much support for the 24Ve tower when down.
I have rocktamers, but have noticed a few new rock chips on my bow from the little bit of towing I do around home. I feel like a read somewhere that people have covered the vulnerable area of their bow with painters tape to prevent rock chips, seems like an ok idea, anyone have experience or thoughts with this?
I believe I will have to stop for a watercraft inspection when crossing a few of the statelines on our way. Any advice here? I plan to have the boat cleaned and dry.
Any advice or tips for towing this far would be appreciated . Cant wait for the trip but not looking forward to pulling the boat that far.
