    Do you drag one on each side to keep the boat straight?

    You can drag two or one straight out the rear of the boat.

    Deltarat I'm going to try the chains first. Went and got chain and rope today. Rope is marked every foot and in the boat. I borrowed a dock from a friend and it was fortyeight I think or close to it and it just about stoped my boat. I figure in a tin boat if I need anything bigger it's time to hit the ramp.

    I drag chains but have noticed that the ride is not as smooth as the sock. Seems like I get a kind of intermittent tugging with the chain. Anybody else?
