    Default How do you launch your boat?


    So here it is.

    I just bought a new boat and decided to take 'er for the maiden voyage this past weekend. This is my first boat and I wasn't quite sure of the exact Standard Operating Procedures for launching it off a ramp, but I figured it couldn't be too hard I consulted my local boat dealer for advice, but they just said "don't let the trailer get too deep when you are trying to launch the boat".

    Well, I don't know what they meant by that as I could barely get the trailer in the water at all! The stupid truck would die and start floating before the trailer even got close to deep enough!

    What am I doing wrong? Should I load the truck down with some lead or maybe rocks so it doesn't float?

    Anyhow, here's a picture. See for yourself. What am I doing wrong?

    It is obvious, you did not pull the truck down far enough to allow the boat to float off the trailer. Pull the truck up another 10 feet and you should have no problem getting the boat off.

    i seriously hope that everyone doesn't think this is my boat story... it's obvious that's not me by the Ford logo on that truck. Ford's are only good for one thing, (when they run), getting parts for other Fords in need of repairs. :-)
