[QUOTE="raider, post: 167967, member: 353"] i have put 60's on both of mine... i fish behind the helm and use an i pilot... the 60 will give you room to keep the head above the 1/2 door rail when closed and keep the line of site between the 2... have had it give me issues when behind the door or rails... my second and current toon came with guides that run 2/3 the length on the inside of the outer tubes... works very well, and any scuffs or scratches would b on the inside and not visible... another key for me is to have a driver back under me when i get bout 1/2 loaded... the motor will not push it on like a boat... i start by having them back in until the bunks are wet, then pull out until 3' or so of the front of the bunks are showing... when i get bout 1/2 way on and can't go any more, i signal to them to bring it back in slowly while i drive her the rest of the way up... when it's tight i go down the front step and stand on the hitch to attach and cinch up... shut her down, raise the motor, and off to the cleaning station where we throw on the boat buckles and transom saver and drop the top...
