don't bet on it I have guides and a 17.5" glass boat and just as I was loading with the nose just past the guides a gust of wind came up and turned the nose to the right and I got hung up on the right bunk almost sideways luckily I got off but thought I was going to have to get in the water to push it off, not fun. 2nd attempt I gave it a little more power and made it on OK
