[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 158161, member: 1055"] I have a flaot stlye trailer, in that you have to float the baot on and off. Unloading is easy, I through my anchor on shore, back in until she floats and then go park the truck. If there are others around I'll tie the boat off before going to park the truck. Loading is harder. I try to power load, however I only get about 1/2 way up the bunks before all forward progress stops. I walk up the boat, step out onto the tongue reach for the winch cable, hook it up to the boat and try to crank it up by hand. Sometimes I have to climb on the truck bumper and walk to the side of the truck, then jump off all in an effort to keep my feet dry. If I want to get wet, than I can submerge the trailer enough for the trolling motor to get me on the trailer. Jump in the lake, hook the eye strap and pull the truck forward. My newest project is keel rollers, new side guides so I can lower my boat as she sits on the trialer. I'd rather power load thatn get wet. Gets cold around here in the spring/fall, nothing worse thatn cold wet feet. [/QUOTE]
