I followed this guy into the lake this weekend. See if you can spot the WTF in this picture

I'd love to know how he loads and unloads that boat with that motor where it's at.

And either the trailer is longer than the boat, or the boat has shifted forward.

My guess would be that he backs in until the ass end or more floats free....

Must use a steep launch to float the ass end over the cross member.

unloads/loads with tilt/trim...

i see NO TIE DOWN STRAPS.

The ramp at our maria is quite steep... I did not realize this on first launching our pontoon and on backing in before I knew it it was floating free of the trailer with only the winch strap keeping her in place...

Cross brace is too close to allow tilt/trim.

Boat ramp is no where steep enough at the lake. I saw him in water up to the front bumper at the boat ramp trying to unload.

Trailer was obviously too long for boat. I swear, some days I could just take a cooler and a lawn chair to the ramp, and just sit there to watch the show.

wondering if he can trim up without hitting trailer frame?

We do that about every wkend. Our dock is the first one near the ramp so we just sit out there and watch the excitement - especially on holiday wkends. We keep wanting to make score cards and hold them up.

Would that be Olympic Scoring? I'll bring the numbers and air horn. I think it would be respectful to give a little blast when scoring is complete. Cowracer bringing the ice chest?

I was busy prepping my boat for launch and my phone was up in the truck. by the time I was ready to pull up, he was already gone.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see the problem. Better than a trailer that is too short!

Also, I don't get the comments about putting up a lawn chair to observe problems at the launch ramp. I guess I have better things to do.
