How do you guys usually put the boat back on the trailor??

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.

With enough throttle they eventually push the PVC pipes out of the way and up on the trailer I go.

When people see my partially missing and grossly rusted fenders
they feel sorry for me anyhow.

If you're being crowded try copying my appearance and you'll get some slack from most folks.....old and confused and therefore dangerous!

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

I would love to enter that contest. However, I don't have enough trailer left to back.
