I wanted to offer some high praise, thanks and recommendation for the trailer pole and steps that BCB has added to the trailer in 07. On my last 4 or 5 trips, I have been alone, and needed to load and unload the boat solo. While I realize that this is not a major task, I can tell you that having the grab pole, and the non-skid steps on the winch stand made things dramatically easier, and in all reality, much safer. Anyone balancing on the front of a boat trying to hook up or launch can slip and fall, even someone blessed with my outstanding athletic abilities and balance (Upchuck now). The new additions add a whole new level of security to the trailering process. They are a must have retrofit to any trailer that will accomodate them. Rick and the design team have once again led the way in bass boat innovation. Based on the added safety alone, my family surely appreciates it.
