Trailering a Boat

If you are like me, and I doubt you are because as my wife says, "you are an original" backing your boat into the water at the marina can be a nightmare, or at the very least embarrassing.

I remember one occasion when I backed my 17 foot bowrider into the water, pushed it off the trailer and then realized, after it got hung up sideways, that the safety rope was still on it. Took several men and a boy along with my wife to fix that little problem...of course my face was as red as a beet and that wasn't because of the exhertion of pushing on the boat....wish I had seen this video first, it would have helped.



This is a typical 'put the boat on the trailer' scene.....


If it wasn't for the english accent on the video I would think this is me....

We've got our eyes on the Bayliner 300... once we get our hands on the dough, that is (!) I'm completely nervous about getting the boat in and out of the water. Thanks for posting the video!
