Been reading up on the automatic latches that hold your boat on the trailer while you pull up the ramp. I typically boat alone which means loading and launching alone. I have a system that works well, but at almost 76, always looking for easier methods. 16' aluminum SC boat so nothing big and heavy. These latching mechanisms replace the bow stop on the winch stand and automatically grab the bow eye when you drive up onto your trailer. You still use your winch strap and a safety chain for security. The two popular models are " Drotto" and " boat2Ramp", both work the same, just slightly different build qualities from what I have read. My question is....are they worth the almost 350 bucks you pay for one ? Anyone have one, use one or any real life experiences with either one. Thanks in advance for sharing any experience you might have with these.......
