My favourite bit is how much your head changes shape at around the 3 minute mark onwards...

I love it when you try to push the boat from the stern with the engine on 👌

[jimquantic]

That's a good tip, of course if the wind is blowing lateral you may have a tussle, still even then it should work. I face a similar situation, no dock parallel to the boat when I put her in. But the other difference is pretty cold water and a steep drop off. What I just saw, which is pretty cool is a custom welded boarding ladder--welded to the trailer tongue. You back the boat down, get it very close to the float off point--be damn sure you have first emergency brake, backed up by park gear position--I put in a chock too. Then climb the tongue to the ladder, your weight insures the bow is pinned down as you mount the bow. Then back out normally, and never need to get wet. In warm conditions, that isn't needed but where I launch, it is a good idea. Then again, I do try to avoid boating alone whenever possible.

I’ve got a queen tracks myself it’s a great motor and are used to have an even read but I’ve got a 15 Merc on it at the moment but personal preference which console boats is probably an early craft pop had an early craft 610 coastal with the 140 Suzuki and let me tell you that handled like better than any boat that I’ve driven and I’ve driven a few boats now and they’re all at multiple different brands so my recommendation is either Quinn tracks but most of all Ali craft

I think I have been reversing the trailer in too far. This looks easier for sure

[dickritchie]

How did you keep the boat from floating away while you parked the truck?

[GregK]

Wow! How light is that boat? How the hell can you winch it in with the trailer that far outta the water?

[mosprorab]

Oh my gosh!
Back to celluloid filmmaking!

"And you won't have to go the gym". He may have to given his struggle to climb into the boat from the stern. Spare tyre got in the way there. Good video though!

[joemills]

When he boarded from the rear I thought he struggled to get in. Too many beers 🍺 being carried at the mid section.

[jimlepeu]

Did he ever stop talking? Watched with the sound off, his mouth never stopped lol

[markbass]

The choice of music (noise) is horrible. You will drive more away than you will attract. Just

[adamgrimsley]

[yuhboyify]

What the?! So you leave an unsecured boat drifting into wherever why you go park the car and put your trailer lock on?!! No thanks

[peterpace]
