When I back down the ramp to unload the boat, I look to see where the water is on the fender when the boat starts to float. Then, when I go to load the boat, I stop a little shallower(?) than that.

Finally something I have lots of experience doing!

I prefer the front end between the guide poles I bought last year and put on the trailer. When I forgets to move the rod holders and they slam
the upright PVC covers everyone within hearing distance turns to watch.
:smt010
With enough throttle they eventually push the PVC pipes out of the way and up on the trailer I go.
:-D
When people see my partially missing and grossly rusted fenders
they feel sorry for me anyhow. :o
If you're being crowded try copying my appearance and you'll get some slack from most folks.....old and confused and therefore dangerous! :lol:

You have not lived til you try to back the "Cypress Sled" down the ramp at the Fenholloway in Tom's truck...It's half as long as the truck and a 1/4 the width, throw in a tool box that would hold Jimmy Hoffa in the mix and the trailer just disappears on the decline....

How about some trailer backing contest at the Social...I'm sure I would win the most damage inflicted on TC's trailer contest :lol:

I would love to enter that contest. However, I don't have enough trailer left to back. ;-)
What was I supposed to do today?
