Boat Retrieval at Boat Launch

[SC_LSV]

Not trying to disagree with either method, bc I use both depending on the conditions and driver of truck/boat. But I spoke with boatmate a year or two ago about one of my bunks and they told me that the trailer is design for power loading the last foot or two. So essentially if you are comfortable with it and the bunk carpets are wet, no damage should be incurred. Bad pun, but whatever floats your boat.

Yep, I am definitely not a fan of power loaders. They stir up the launch so that it's all muck and they ruin the launch. Plus, most people tend to miss sometimes or not have the trailer at the correct depth causing damage to your boat. The one and only blemish on my boat was from the previous owner power loading and hitting the nose of the bow (rub rail) on the winch. It cut a big gash into the rub rail but luckily didn't damage the gel coat. If your trying to use the winch and you have to give your boat gas to get it onto the trailer then the trailer is not deep enough. We push are boat onto the trailer then winch it up. Takes 1 minute.

I agree. This is the same way i load my boat.
