fun with boats

[rhody98]

I have had to be more careful this season since with the new rollers I put on, the boat slides off like a greased pig.

Beradke, enjoyed this thread the most after showing it to my wife and hearing her ask me with regard to the line below if I think yer referring to the boat or the fiance!

My wife backs me in while I'm in the boat, I don't have to tie up the boat. When we come in, I let her off on the dock and she goes and gets the trailer and backs it in. She then hooks up the winch and chinches it down, then pulls the boat out. It doesn't take us long at all to launch or retrieve.

lost2a6, I launch the boat in the same manner now. Been launching boats for thirty years, mostly with my grouchy dad (expletives deleted of courses), and your system is the system that works the best. at the ramp we frequent, there is a strong current that often presents issues. With a person (driver) in the boat, the driver can drive the boat off the trailer and come back to pick up the others at one of the docks after truck is parked. no ropes needed.. I just started doing it this way about a year ago and it is by far the quickest way to launch..... boat ramps can be one of the scariest places on the planet imho...some people laugh at the nonsense and idiots...it just stresses me out!!!!!

I consider myself very lucky to have a wife that can do the same.
