Be hard to put the other end without dunking the truck first!! But then some of the power boaters I witnessed over the last two weekends might have pulled it off!!

Hey, I think that I've seen em try to back their boat onto their trailer.
Boat Ramps are an excellent place for spectator sports.

Saw some things one would only believe if they were sitting there watching for themselves... I launch at a sailboat marina, none of those folks ever seem to have any trouble...hehe

Saw a guy try to power his boat onto the trailer with the back edge of the bunks barely touching the water..... :eek: (he tried for near a half hour before getting it that he wasn't going to be successful) Seemed to be a recurring theme that the tires on the trailers weren't suppose to go under the water....:D

Six pack and a good lawnchair, just can't be beat for weekend entertainment!

At our ramp, there is a 2' drop off at the end of the cement. I watched a guy and his wife with a big sun hat loading a sailboat. For some reason the woman waded around behind the boat to check something. All of a sudden she dropped into that hole and left her hat floating for about 15 seconds and I was standing there wondering if I actually just saw that. Well, I realized that I should do something like jump in but she came up soon afterwards.

Wouldn't it be quicker if the marina's made circular pull-through launch ramps like the drive-up ATM at the bank? You wouldn't waste all that time backing up or using tongue extensions. :D
