[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 485806, member: 22613"] Here's what I did a couple years ago when we had crazy floods and I was basically dunking the boat from the parking lot. 1. Straps off, plug in, normal routine. 2. Back down, stop at the water line. 3. Drop your winch strap. Take a dock rope that is a few feet longer than your trailer with a carabiner on one end, tie one end to the bow eye and snap the carabiner onto the winch post or somewhere on the tow vehicle. 4. Back in, once the boat is floating, stab the brakes, and then start pulling forward slowly until the boat is beached. 5. Hop out, fully beach the boat and unhook your rope. That's it. As for getting back in, I will kind of shove off and hop on the front deck at the same time, but I am young and agile. [/QUOTE]
