I've got it now. I backed Chip up on Sunday. Then he left early and I loaded it 100% by myself and got it in the driveway. Only gets better from here!! Now I need to learn the reefs, lol.

Congratulations on the boat !! Go for it... keep practicing and get help learning the bays. I got MY FIRST boat in 2005 and haven't used it much until 2009 when I determined to learn to back up, launch, retreive and get people to help me learn the bays and not get piled up on a reef---I'm 60 years old and not far ahead of you on the learning curve, so don't feel bad and don't be intimidated by the challenge. Everyone starts at the beginning, man. By the way , the guys here are the most helpful for this than anywhere.

Wish I could have seen the video but glad you got a boat! I am sure you will load it up with quality fish soon. See you on the water soon.

No more video. Not even of David.Originally posted by imhammer View PostHe was laughing harder than me and trying to contain himself. I told him the bad news was that he was next and I would make sure that I have the video working on him also. I thing we need to have a contest and take 2 trailers down there.....then let you both try at the same time! Now that would be some funny S__T!
Different David Walt, but I did talk to that David this morning. I will tell him you said hi.Originally posted by Bluewaver View Post
Good Stuff, don't take it so hard JKid...
BTW,
you might want to add a back up alarm on the trailer...
Congrats on the new rig, tell David I said Hi!

Sweet maiden trip, glad you got some slime in the boat.
Ask Coe or Kylie about my trailer-backing skills.

Backin a trailer
Yeah, there's only one way to learn to back the trailer and that is to do it about 100 times. After 35 years, like me, you'll be a pro!!!

Till they make friends with mud and shellOriginally posted by 007 View PostWish I would have had a video camera when the Hooters 38' Fountain with quad 300's tried to launch at the KOA camp in SLP. They tried to head straight out thru the lagoon.......NOT!!!!!
