Ok, here's my confession of an embarassing trailering event...

We're fortunate to be on the water, so our trailering is only to put in at Spring and haul out in Fall. It was Fall, we needed to haul out this one particular day, and the normal tow vehicle (Grand Cherokee) was gone for the weekend! We decided to give it a shot with the small 6cyl Dodge Dynasty....the boat is a 21ft FourWinns bowrider. Pretty heavy boat, but not enormous, so we figured we'd try.

Well, the ramp (Libby Museum) was wet and sandy, and the front wheel drive on the Dynasty was causing slipping tires. I am sure people were thinking "what's up with these guys?!".

With my ego dropping, I asked some strangers to sit on the hood of the car, and thankfully they obliged. It worked fine, but was not my favorite moment on the Lake!
