Re: bunks

kilroy1984,

There's some spray stuff that may be called something like liquid roller you can spray on your bunks. If I recall correctly, watch out the next time you put in or take out! Connect strap when taking out and have someone in the boat when putting in.

Someone else might know the stuff by name that I'm referring to.

fyi...cww

Is it a really shallow ramp? Also, how far is "real far"? It sounds to me like you are still not far enough in. When I back my trailer in the water I go until the boat floats off. The trailer wheels are completely under the water and the water edge is usually right under the bumper of my truck.
