She is with you Sir and always will be. Thank you for this story. Sometimes the little things we do can mean alot to someone and we never know how much. God bless you.

Tony this put tears in my eyes as I know one day I or she will be alone

Old men rock !! I hope you enjoy your boat for many more years and I’m sure your wife is watching.

Thank you for your story.

I’m going to buy one today I load my ski boat like nothing

Yes Sir. It's not a race. Looking like a pro can take patience. Thank you Sir.

I really appreciate that Sir.

Thank you. I'll try to make more videos on different topics when I can. I'd like to focus on fishing tips eventually. Thanks again.

Enjoy Sir, and be safe.. Thank you for the comment.

Me too!

Thank you so much for this comment. This is exactly why I made the video to help out. I havent always benn laid back. I learned over the years sometimes the slower we go the faster we can get done. "To act in haste is to make waste" I once heard. Weird how that's works lol. Thanks again.

That's awesome. Small world. It's a nice place. They cleaned the neighborhood up alot around the condos.

That is great! This comment made my day. Thank you for letting me know the video helped you. Enjoy your new boat and congratulations on your purchase.

@@caryatkinson3808 I just saw your video. That is awesome I subscribed to your channel. I couldn't comment on the video. Enjoy Sir, be safe.

Thank you for the comment. I'm glad it could help in some way.

Thank you for the comment. We all live and learn.

Thank you very much Sir

Thank you as well. I hope you enjoy and it helped.

Thank you. That comment means more to me than you know. Have a great day.

Enjoy Sir. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I hope it helps. I've seen a lot of people struggle on the last few years. I was taught by one of the best. Thanks again.

I think you'll be happy with either you choose. They both will have their pros and cons. Thank you for your comment, enjoy the water.

Thank you for the comment. Yes Sir it is definitely a little different using an SUV. I usually take a set of muck boots at particular ramps when I use our SUV.

@@fishingwithcoolcatfishclay1624 Yup I got done cheap little water shoes from Walmart that keeps me from busting my ass in the water. Lol I’ve only put my new Tritoon in the water once and I did pretty good but had my trailer too far in the water. If it doesn’t rain I’ll be giving it another shot tomorrow. Anyway,,, Thanks for the cool vid man! 👍

I'm glad it could help. Enjoy the waters and thank you.

I hope you had a great time. Thank you for letting me know the video was helpful.

I hope this helped. Enjoy and thank you.

Thank you very much. I'll try to get more videos made.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you very much too.

Sometimes if you slow down you can get more done. "To act in haste is to make waste". Thank you for the comment.

Thank you as well.

Thank you. God bless you as well.

Yes Sir, God is good. Thank you for the comment.

That's it. Just focus on one side of the boat. Everything will naturally happen on the left side. This is being said wind is near calm with no current. Adjustments will need to be made if it's a "rough environment" for lack of better words. The key is practice and patience. A deeper ramp in a nice cove will be much easier than a shallow ramp in a river channel. You don't need to back the vehicle up as far at a deeper ramp like you do at a shallow ramp. Thank you very much.

Yes Sir. Thank you for letting me know it was helpful.

Thank you.

Thank you for the comment. They are made by Driftmasters. I have the 3/8" models they have a 1/2" model as well. Either one is fine just be sure your bases match of course. Think about the pitch you want as well. I like my rods slightly pointed up. You can by them from Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, or offline.

Any 1500 series truck would be fine and most common. Something as small as a v6 F150 but a 4.6 F150 v8 will do much better. If you are looking to save money now Dodge 1500 5.7 hemis come a dime a dozen and are fairly dependable. If you are looking to spend money and for it to hold value GMC or Chevy 5.3 Truck, Tahoe or Burban. GMC Denali has a 6.2. Any thing will pull it really just don't buy something like a Ranger or Envoy, people around here use them but for how long, idk lol. If you know the weight of the boat and trailer find a vehicle where it meets 70% of the towing capacity or much less and it will pull and stop much better. 4x4 is always a plus at sandy ramps but very rarely needed. If your trailer has electric breaks think about finding a vehicle with brake controls already installed from the factory. If it doesn't have electric breaks don't worry about it, just use caution until you get the feel of slowing down. Mine doesn't have electric breaks. I used a Durango for many years. The 5.7 Durango pull great and are cheap used but they are a Dodge, is what it is, hey Al Bundy drove a Dodge lol. The Durango has small breaks and doesn't stop great at all with full coolers, gas tanks and gear. Never had an issue with a 1500 or bigger.

Do you mean like the easy loader guides that stick up in the back? I would imagine they would help but I've never had them. Yes, the current can be bad, timing is key. The worst is a current with unpredictable wind then add a few wake borders shaking the boat around can make it worse. Like I said. It can take several times, if it takes ten times that's ok. Sometimes you have to go nice and slow, sometimes you have to commit. My toons have plenty of battle scars and I'm sure they'll be more to come.

Oh they help!!

You'll have to park at the docks and go get the truck if you are alone. I've considered making a video showing this process but I don't know how well it would help out due to each ramp being different. The biggest problem will be other people. The less crowded the easier of course but sometimes you will have jerks that will want to cut in line. If you can... choose a ramp where you can park the boat right over the ramp when there is noone using the ramp. This will hopefully prevent any boats from getting in your way and any trucks pulling up will see they can't launch there. I hope this helps. For example the ramp I'm using in this video....if it was crowded there could had been issues due to I couldn't park over the ramp here. Expect to have confrontations just try to keep respectful. People will be people, can't change that.

@@fishingwithcoolcatfishclay1624 appreciate your insight. most of this seems pretty logical, just want to make sure when i start getting out on the water im not "that guy." just trying not to disrupt existing ideologies and flows if i can help it. appreciate your insight

I agree, lol. Thank you for the comment. Stay safe.

Thank you.

It is a MinnKota Ulterra 112lb Sir.

Thank you.

There's a few things I meant to mention but overall it turned out OK I think. Hopefully as soon as they pull the boat out of the water they'll know it's running due to the sound like a drag car pulled out with them haha. I've been there myself.

Letting the motor run in gear is a great idea. Thank you. I could had used that the other day. I left my trailer out a little further than I should had and needed to winch it about three feet lol. Thanks again!

@@fishingwithcoolcatfishclay1624 Your welcome glad I could help thats what we are to do is help one another out . Enjoy and be safe my friend .
