No problem, takes both outdrives and drives them both full down mulrtiple times hoping to lift stern and lower bow. To no avail he attaches two dock lines to bow and then to truck and begins to pull the bow down until both dock lines break like a gun shot slamming boat back onto the still lowered outdrives. At that point I left before someone died and before the tow truck arrived.

Holy Crap!!! Using outdrives as hydraulic lifts PRICELESS

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
