New-ish boater, don't want to be "that guy"..

[Blyblvrd]

Goodhue and/or Center Harbor are great places to launch IMO so long as you don’t go when everyone does. My son is a commercial boating captain and is an instructor and I taught him. Steve on Mark sounds like ideal choice number one but we may be able to help as a friendly back-up. When are you thinking?

Don't discount vacant parking lots to practice backing up your trailer.

Also when you do get to a ramp, do not be the guy who undies all the tie-downs while parked on the ramp. Check your drain plug, and remove all but the bow wench before you approach the ramp. )

Oh and please do not power load (gun it in the water to get onto your trailer) as it messes up the ramp.

Even in this less-than-chivalrous age, all wenches needn't be present.

Sometimes typos are just too funny.....

I've always found that when I wind up a bow wench, she turns into a stern wench...

Have to love the humor here.

Backing up isn’t a problem. After all, I back up trailers for a living, albeit a bit larger. Never had any problem backing my 24’ when I had it.

And I shall release the rest of the wenches, but tell the bow wench she must remain.
