Bushwacker, you've provided an excellent overview. Now I understand why all the float-ons in FL, and the roller-types up here (VA).
My memory of pulling my dad's '74 Tsunami onto the E-Z roller, though, is one of sheer terror, listening to the winch strain, and the cable popping and singing. We were all terrified of the cable snapping and flying through the back of our '69 Rambler Ambassador. Add to that the fear of dunking the hubs, and risking my dad's wrath...
Funny, though, we thought nothing of pulling that rig with the same car, air-bag shocks in the rear, custom welded hitch, six adults in the car. We managed a few r/t from VA. Beach to FL, cruising naively at 65mph down I95.
I'd love to have that Tsunami back...dad sold it in VA Beach in 1989...it had been meticulously maintained...
