    Default Ok fellers and Ladies, need some advice, of course I am having to learn to load


    this new to me boat and was wandering if anyone would suggest to spray something on the bunks to help the boat slide up on trailer and if so, what should I use ? found out wednesday that I cant just run the boat up and then pull it up the rest of the way with the winch, my son (purty good size feller) had to struggle pretty hard to winch it up about 8-10 inches to lock it down. of course dont wanna ES it or run up into the back of my tow vehicle either. so just gimme yall's thoughts


    thanks

    Back the trailer more in the water and give it more gas.

    Thanks Big H, will give that a shot, just dont want to run up on the tow vehicle. This boat is so much heavier than the G3 16footer I had and I would just drive it up on there with out no problem. Just gotta get used to the weight of this boat. I will say that goin down the water with a little chop to it is way smoother at 38mph than it was at 27mph in my old G3.


    thanks for the info

    Larry, I like to have just the top of the trailer fenders out of the water when I back in. Ease the boat on the trailer and then when it stops, if it's not far enuff up, give it some gas adn push it the the front. Doing it this way it cant get enuff momentium to jump off the trailer. Good luck

    Thats the way I do mine....I like the fender tops three inches out of the water......I drive on untill it stops then power up to the stop.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    Back the trailer in deep and wet it down then pull up to where you want it and follow Rees info.
