If this boat has been used a lot without one, I'd look to see if there are any "issues" with wear and tear on the transom. Trailering with it tilted up without a transom saver puts extreme stress on the transom, the mounting bolts, and all kinds of other stuff back there.

Thanks for the tip. Luckily It was a new boat so that shouldn't be an issue. However you gave me an indication of what could happen over time if I can't figure out how to secure mine to my trailer.
