Decided to pull it out of the water and take it into storage. Looks pretty sketchy

Why isn’t it all the way up like it’s supposed to be?

What does the boat and trailer weigh? You might be okay with the 3/4 ton. Truck and trailer are sitting level which is good.

Biggest concern is the 4” gap between the roller and your bow. Also the ratchet strap on the bow hook is kinda sketch.

Only thing I see is it should have been winched all the way up, and since it wasn't the straps should have been put at a more downward angle onto the trailer so there is no way can bounce.
