I have to share what happened to me yesterday....I take the Miller out with my girlfriend and her cousin down to the lake...Now I've taken out many boats but never have I had a time unloading and loading like I did yesterday...I launched from Windsor Beach just like always...This guy walks up to me and right off the bat....(JUST LIKE OMAR TOLD ME WOULD HAPPEN) this guy says hay isn't that Nates old boat? So I say yes....we talk a little while...then I unhook the boat and I get in everything is good...Jerry backs me in and I start the engine...the son of a bitch won't back up...these big boats are making waves and my boat is  floating forwards...so after the nose hits my truck right under the right tail light I finnaly get the damn thing to back up....well by now the freaking boat is sideways over the trailer...lucky for me Jerry saw what was happening and backed up more so I didn't hit the fenders....So I got the boat away....everything went well out on the lake..there wasn't any wind and the water was smooth...had a good couple of hours....then here we go again....Jerry backs the trailer down the ramp and I'm coming in to load it but wait...this big som of a beeeaaaccchhh eliminator comes in and the wake pushes me sideways....FO%K I'm sideways over the freaking trailer again.....talk about pissed off.....so I back up and go around and finnaly get the damn thing loaded.....embarrised? Pissed? fedup? yep felt like a ididot!  Hopefully next year will be better........Al

Well thats about what im expecting when i launch my boat    I too will feel like  an idiot

Cause i am


2sav

nope metal fenders and sinks along with the ramp....lol....

The "later Miller trailers" float (for a while) because of the Box rail contruction .I belive a large portion were built by a welder in Santa Maria CA nice work .My first one "floated"  My current is older ,was built by Competetive and has metal fenders . Bummer re your launch experience ,I usually am very patient and "pick (as best I can) when the right moment is to dump it in then I always get the bow pointed out (paddle if possible) ASAP especially on the flatty ,usually pisses off everybody else launching  Tom

PS dont feel bad ,one time a long time ago I Picked Rhonda up (feeling all Macho) put her in the drivers seat dumped the boat in then ran down the ramp , she idled up ,I plopped my a$$ on the bow and low and behold water was up to the frikken Alternator (oops forget the plug (DOH !)
