    Its according if the ramp is steep or not. I have those plastic patches on my bunk boards and are pretty slick.

    I'd bet a dollar to a donut that your boat has had the bunks "greased" with silicon due to launching into freezing water and that's why you had the trouble. I'd bet a dozen dollars to a a donut that you're gewber.

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    I've never had a problem unhooking before, luckily. I think I'll start waiting till I get to the water from now on. I hate to learn a lesson the hard way. Thanks ES.

    Always at the edge of the water, it is just not worth the risk!
