BUT, I reverse down until the stern is kissing the water - then disconnect everything - and its really only the last meter of travel that gets the brakes treatment. But even so ... I do worry about slimy boat ramps and skidding the cruiser into the drink. 4WD has looked after me so far. Cheers Zoran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquidMarks Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I dont see anything wrong with that pic..... clearly the bloke anchored on a spring tide and as the water receded he came back to find it on the ramp, ready to be picked up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swivelfish Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Damn! looks like a Quintrex 475 bay ranger caprice...lucky the keel is protected by a solid ally I bar..... I have the same boat..it would survive :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to call all your mates and get them round to help lift and push, while reversing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
