Do you have a usual person who does the tow car and another usual suspect that holds or gets the boat to the float to let all the others get aboard?

I back up the truck, I get boat off trailer, I drive boat to dock to pick up the admiral who only pulls the truck forward.
Retrieving: I dock the boat. I walk to get truck and back it down, I walk back to dock to get boat and put it on the trailer, the admiral pulls forward to the wipe down area.

Me, myself and I.

Ditto.

yup, I do it all as well.

I do it all as well. I thought I was in the minority. Sometimes we have someone with us that is comfortable backing up the trailer. In five years of owning aboat that has been maybe 3 times.

Me too. But I only launch/retrieve about 5 times a summer.

I let my daughter drive the boat up on the trailer. Yesterday as i was walking back to get the trailer, a maybe 20 yr gut was trying to pull his boat onto the trailer with his I assume dad having backe trailer into water. I could see they were having trouble. I backed down, they were still there trying. My daughter pulled straight on the trailer and I hooked it up and pulled out noticing the embarassment on both thier faces. Later in they pulled up next to us and i could hear the dad giving lessons on loading a boat.

Ditto. Although, when my Admiral is around she is my official "comeonback". Whenever possible, day or night, I prefer to have a ground guide when backing up with a trailer.

I drive the truck, my 15 yo son deals with the boat. When he gets his license we'll work on doing it the other way so that it won't matter and he can take the whole rig to the lake with his budds.

NADA; our towing days are over...

for now.


Can't say that a little jet boat or jet ski isn't in the future though.

I back the TV down whether launching or retrieving, deal with the boat, and the admiral or one of the crew drive the TV to park or wipe down area...

TV?

Tow Vehicle.

Same here. Anyone else is just along for the ride.
