I think you need to go back a little furtheryou still have some roof out of the water.

You need a bit more practice at reversing so you go straight down the ramp. A bit rude taking up most of the ramp.

Looks ok to me - you just need to back down a little straighter.
PS - you'll also need some nav lights on that vehicle.

Me thinks bearings have long since departed and now you are in the process of losing your marbles.Jim

I just noticed the rocky area in front of the boat. Watch you don't scratch the underside of the boat there.
All else looks good from this angle though

It just saves parking the car and waiting in line for the retrieval at the end of the day.
It's a wonder nobody else thought of that system really.

I hear the new Ford sea anchor is the ducks guts...but you're probably a little close to shore for it to work effectively.

By the way, don't forget to tacke the trailer out from under the boat too, that always helps with top-end speed...;D

you need to wear a lifejacket in that ford if it's in VIC, because it would be considered "underway" when you're trying to drive back up the ramp...

"A yellow car AND a yellow boat ... Serves you right"

Must have had quite a few bananas in the lunch box as well ;D ;D ;D

Did a bit of a search on the colour "YELLOW" and found that"-

The shade of yellow determines the meaning. Pure, bright and sunny yellow is the easiest color to see.

People who are blind to other colors can usually see yellow. (Even underwater it seems)

Yellow is full of creative and intellectual energy. Yellow symbolizes wisdom.(Not in this case)

Yellow means joy and happiness. (Does this look like a joyous occasion?)

People of high intellect favor yellow. :-X

Like the energy of a bright sunny day, yellow brings clarity and awareness.:-X

Put some yellow in your life when you want:

clarity for decision-making
relief from 'burnout', panic, nervousness, exhaustion
sharper memory and concentration skills
protection from lethargy and depression during dull weather

Thats the idea. Take the car and the boat to Rotty. That way you dont have to ride a bike!
