If your tubing or wake surfing, it's definitely more convenient to keep the flag mounted up on your tower instead of raising it every time someone falls.
If you don't have a flag, you can just tie a life jacket to the Bimini.

Why is it taking you so long? :D

LOL. We still do it the old school way float it on and off the trailer and tie it off to the dock, my wife is still not comfortable parking or backing the trailer hence my previous post don't yell at her. The way we do it now no one gets frustrated or mad and everyone has a good time from launch to retrieve and that's all that matters to me.

P.S. my fat ass could use the extra exercise of walking up and down the ramp anyways.

Mines not comfy with either backing or driving the boat and crowded makes her more nervous.What we do is i get boat ready to go back it up to a certain point before it floats she then backs it in a few few ft and drives up the ramp to get it out of of way off to the side ill dock boat and take over truck.I hate to block a ramp so we do best we can.

All that launching stuff is just to much work. You pay $230 a month for indoor storage and the boat is dropped via elevator into the river and ready at the dock when I show up. :D

Of course I will only be paying this during the summer, the ocassional run the rest of the year will be launching with the rest of the riffraff.

If you're docking your boat by yourself and people standing at the dock offer to catch the boat for you and you tell them "no I got it" and then proceed to slam your hull against the dock.

It's obviously the guy on the docks fault for assuming you could do it alone.

If your wife can't back the trailer down the ramp after 2-3 attempts, and a stranger offers to do for you. It's okay to say "no it's ok" and then proceed to wait until your husband docks the boat and backs the trailer down himself.

If my wife asks you after 2 or 3 attempts, she can get the job done right the first time.

I had a laugh. GD jet ski rentals. (Fastrip)

Community Park, Bullhead.

As I'm firing the truck up, there is the empty Ski-rental trailer/Blazer heading into the park.

I'm parked about even with the guard shack. I fire that bitch up, and back to the water with my foot in it, backing the trailer towards the water and 'drag racing' the Blazer.

Who cant do 200 yards against the governor?

Right Of Weigh...:D
