Post is not how it sounds I am perfectly competent of loading my boat hahahaha. Quick question though. I have a 86 sunsport and I am curious as to how to latch the back to the trailer when loading. i have no mounts in the rear to put any straps on other that the mounts for the swim platform and i really do not want to do that. Any Ideas? what do you guys do?

I dont strap the back, but my ramp is 10min down the road. Ive seen people strap from one side of the trailer over the boat and down to the other side of the trailer. Ive also seen people run the strap to their tube tow point but you dont want to strap to the platform.

When I bought my 89 Sunsport the dealer set me up with a long strap that goes around the back of the boat and hooks to the trailer. I only use it on long trips.

When towing I strap side to side as in the pics provided in other post.

The strap across the back is kinda what i figured. I used the same thing on my 87 ski supreme. Just wanted to test the water to see if there are any other ideas. Thanks guys
