Hey guys,

I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. But I get awfully wet everytime I launch the boat. Any advice would be appreciated.

You probably need an army duck for rear forward launching
personally I recon reversing is a lot easier

was that in the states? looks like an old redneck technique

cheers

You need to lower your motor into the water and push the car around in a circular motion pushing the car in the upward motion towards the ramp. Thus solving the drowned rat effect

You're not hittinjg the water with enough speed. Another 20ks and you;d get that trailer right in and she'd float right off!!

Clearly when the ramp was upgraded they put it in the wrong way round. Not your fault at all. ;D

It's the best way to see that the bungs are in.

Learning to reverse is heaps harder

I studied your astrology chart and it looks like Uranus is in the wrong position.

Since when has the brake been on the left and the "go fast Pedal" on the right. !!!!!!!

I think it is obvious what the problem is...you need a snorkel on the truck

I agree that more speed would probably fix it :evil:

Oh and buy a set of waders ;)

It is clearly a problem related to the brand of motor on the back of the boat.

And that's why I don't let me wife drive the boat to the ramp!!!

You have to admit he did a masterful job of not dunking the trailer bearings.

It’s a Ford and he’s trying to slow down the rusting process by putting it in salt water.

A new use for a boat ramp, car launching. Guess he forgot to put in the bungs again.
