You must go to different ramps, I have never witnessed a bunk guy powering on? I go a lot to 3 different MA ramps with real wooden docks, 8-10ft tidal swings, not RI sand ramps?

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I don't think they'd let me in, certainly not a second time. Although, I did attend a polo match in New Port a few weeks ago, which was actually a very good time and short money. My kids got a kick out of the "sweaty slap".

Wayne is right, just don't believe the signs for parking, as long as you park in the lot for trailers,,, it's like parking on the first t box at willowbed. was quite a surprise at 3AM and never been before

I told you! somedays you even have your own launch assistant when the gaurd is bored.

Side note I played the colf course on monday

ive always used a bunk trailer. I have the two narow bunks in front and my v hull slides right in with ease and balances the boat everytime. Never really had an issue with that. Ive actually never launched with rollers so cant compare.

if I powered on to my bunks, I'd be in the back of the truck....twice a year I slid the boat off and on and being handicapped I had no problem handling the 26 footer alone.

when I had rollers and a power winch I had to grab the bow and guide it to center...
