Nice trailer Van.


I think I really got it down this year. This spring I took my wife and daughter out. We got to the ramp, I set everything up. Had my wife and daughter on the dock, and gave my wife a line. I backed to the water, released the safety and cable, backed about 4' and stopped the wife pulled it to the dock and tied her off. There were lots of people around, the usual judging panel, and those in line to pull out. When I came down to the tie up my wife told me that the crusty old guy on the bench said he was impressed. Pulling it out can be a pain at times, but I readjusted the guideons and it seems to be loading better.

One of the best people I ever saw launch and retrieve a boat all by himself with no assistance was Gary Corsetti. We could come into a ramp and both sides would have lines. He would back between em, and load her up and pull out before the guys that had already been tied up before us were even backed down.
