Hello,
I'm a new owner of a 22' 2002 Supra Launch - great boat. It came with the factory matching "Supra" trailer. The trailer fits the boat extremely well, but it is not the easiest thing to load. I've had boats since I was a kid and have lots of experience loading trailers, but I can't seem to consistently hit the "sweet spot" with the new boat. The previous owner power-loaded the boat and seemed to have no issue with it, I've been able to power-load it a few times but it's not consistent...
I met another owner of the same boat and he ran his trailer deep and floated the entire boat and then had people hold the rear trailer guides as he pulled the truck forward, guiding the boat onto the bunks. I've done this too, and it works well, but I'd love to become a pro at the power load...
My issue with power loading is that the bow almost always wants to come in lower than the front roller on the trailer. Even when I deep-six the trailer and do the float and load thing I often have to lift the bow over the roller while cranking the tow strap the last 6" or so...
Thanks for the help!
