I had a major issue getting my boat in and out at a public launch. My p.u. wheels were way in the water, and the boat was still "barely" in the water. Wet wheels do not make for good traction...so it was even more of a challenge getting out.
Since then I have been thinking about rigging up a tongue extension for the trailer, to get the boat farther back. My idea is to get a piece of square steel that slides inside the existing tongue, so it can be extended 4 feet, for shallow landings. Anyone ever do that?
Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday.
What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures.
Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
