He was in the habit ... if he took someone fishing with him, he'd have them back the trailer down. He'd power load his "Intimidator" series Ranger bass boat ... then sit in it while they pulled him out.

One of his guests wasn't so sure, and stopped then went, half way up the ramp. The boat slid off the trailer and then scraped it's way down the ramp. It cost him $2500.00 to get it repaired ... and he tried to get the guest to help with the costs.

I don't hook that extra strap to the bow, but I DO make sure I have the winch hooked before I drive up the ramp.
