Hey does anybody have any hook up on a company or somebody who could launch a boat for me once or twice next month?


My boat is only about 2.5 miles from the riviera marina but my kids and I are coming into town from Baja in a bronco and it’d be a little sketchy to hook a Hallett 270 onto it. It’s my first time coming into town without a truck so I’m envisioning getting it launched and keeping it at the marina for about 5 days

I'd do it if our schedules can mesh up. I have a 270 which might make you more comfortable.

That’d be amazing. If it’s super hard to find somebody I’ll shoot ya a pm and include a case of your favorite beverage or day boating

Yup I launched my HTM and my 240 with my Bronco. No issues at all.
And I launch my 270 with a Jeep. Bronco is a zero issue for sure. It will sag, and I guess it depends on how far you are from the Launch Ramp.

Yup, I only went a few miles. Definitely would not want to tow it across the state. But sure did fine for launching.

You guys are all psychopaths haha. But I appreciate the advice.

Main concern is it’s long travel and not the best road mannered vehicle to begin with. I’m sure with that on the hitch it’ll be jamming the rear bump stops down.
