Oh contre', I could sit at Tommy's Trading Post with a video camera and win $10,000.00 on Americas Funniest Video's. I once witnessed two guys in a 2 door Buick with a trailer hitch trying to load a 20' Triton. They did alright until they tried to pull out of that steep boat ramp, lol.

Thats why I now stop at Tommy's for breakfast and minners....then launch at browns lol. If anything, at least I can find a parking spot. However, for pure enjoyment, I would put my put my camera at the Madison launches by cock of the walk in the summertime.

As I fish alone a lot, I would add, don't tie off in the ramp space to walk to your truck. If at all possible bank it or tie off out of the way.

LOL, I meant the headlight thing. I've seen some real idiots at the ramps. Hacks me off when you have 2 shoots that hold 2 boats each and ALL 4 boats back in and start unloading their truck into the boat. THEN they have to unhook the boat, and everything else.

Feeshrman,,,, I actually tow my 19.5' ranger with an 2 wd s10 blazer,,,, trick is to have a strong enough motor, like my 4.3 and a good Thorsten locker rear end and a set of 373 gears,,,,walks it out every time without any troubles,,,
