Title: How?

Take a look at the pics before they go away.  How do you launch this boat?  It looks like the trailer needs to be so far into the water that the wheel fenders are 6-8" deep.  Sounds weird.

I have never owned a Hydro so im just guessing, but you launch it just like you think you do.. (maybe a little deeper than normal)
It doesn't have to be very deep, it just seems that way.
Once your back tires on your rig are in the water you should be good.. depending on the angle of the launch ramp (or shore)

I guess.  I'd like to see one when launching.  Does the boat sit nose high or they lift on the nose to clear the fenders?  It seem at that point the tongue would almost be in the water unless it has an extension.

Anyway, thanks for the comeback.

My daytona was wider than the trailer in the front as well (although not as bad as a hydro), it launced just fine, put the fenders about 2" below the water and the boat would float right off with no problems.  With the weight of the motor and pump in the back, the front floats very light

Thanks.  I've never had a boat light in the bow, and now that I think of it, that goes for girlfriends! :D
