Question:
My 25’ proline weighs 5000 lbs. will your caliber boat slides support this weight?
asked by: Mike M
Expert Reply:
Hey Mike! Caliber Marine Slides # CA26AJ can handle the weight of your boat. However, for your 25' Pro-Line I recommend using the 3" wide Caliber Marine Slides # CA66AJ instead.
With a 5,000 lb fiberglass boat, the wider slide is the better choice because it spreads the hull’s weight over more surface area on the bunks. This helps avoid concentrating the load on a narrow strip. The 1-1/2" slides are better suited to smaller boats, pontoons, or PWCs.
Where are you headed next with the Pro-Line?
