    T-top Crab puller question

    Well, I really don't want to drill more holes int he fiberglass. And to mount the bulsters they make you have to remove the rub rails from the inside which I do not want to do either.

    Trailer for 265 express

    I just did the same thing. Picked up a 265 from North Carolina and had is shipped to California. Grady white says a tandem axel trailer is sufficient. I opted for a triple axel. I highly recommend the triple if for nothing else peace of mind. If you are going to tow it is VERY nice. I also...
