We have a ramp here in LA. that no one uses. Too steep. Every bit of 45degree, but might be more. The only person I know that thought he could, had a 2500 4 wheel drive, dually. He didn't lose the truck or boat, just locked the brakes, and had someone pull him out.
I wonder what engineer designed that ramp?

Maybe a politician? They always seem to have the answers.

With my memory going somewhere, I have a number of things I have to do. It's seven, so putting the drain plug in is one, unhooking the lights, is two, unhooking the boat, etc And I count each one, if I don't have 7, I go around looking for what I forgot.

I believe we have all made some kind of mistake at the ramp one time or another. I had a 26ft. that refused to come off the trailer till I rebuilt the trailer rollers. Than I almost didnt make the water with the boat it started leaving the trailer faster than I was backing down. I was lucky I saw what was happening and stepped on the gas and reached the water with only a scratch on the rear bottom.

I wonder why folks haven’t abandoned their drain plugs and converted to dingy bailers?

My wife wouldn't even attempt to drive my truck and trailer, much less back it up. She can't even back a vehicle into the driveway or a parking space.
