Thread: Somebody learned the hard way

Fished a tounament at Pomme several years back. Everyone was pullin their rigs out without hookin winch strap on. Thought I would try it with the Express. Mistake-halfway up the ramp I could feel her sliding. Co angler in my truck saw me waving my arms and stopped quick enough that I only slipped bout a foot. I never, never, never pull up or down a ramp without winch strap hooked up and motor trimmed up. Seen a lot of skegs ground off on the boat ramps also.

First boat was light and slippy, had it slip one time about a foot or so when fishing buddy tapped the brakes when straightening out... Never unhooked again or failed to hook when recovering.
