How to load/unload pontoon without getting wet?

I do the same as Lakerunner.

If you want to go to the trouble when you replace the wood on your bunks, use this stuff. Your boat will slide right down with just a little help from your motor. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12785

The way others have mentioned by getting someone to hold a rope while you back it in far enough will work the best for lack of slickness. Getting the carpet wet first as mentioned also helps.

Harbor Freight sells a shorter hitch extender for $20 that'll get you another 12" further into the water. And I agree that you need to get the boat level with the truck.

Drago, when my bunks need replacing, I think that I will do my bunks the way that you have done yours. Since my boat and trailer are not quite a year old I am going to wait until they need it.

Also, it is a thought to extend the tongue length by a 2 or 3 feet. I am not sure that it would affect the balance and load of the boat going down the road.

There's a new post today labeled "oops". The guy was reading this thread and thought it said "without getting your boat wet"

Valet service....have not loaded or unloaded in over 3 years. I wish I had done it sooner, I use the boat now 3 days a week during the season. Before maybe once a month?

Also do not need a giant hot wheels truck to drag it back and forth.
