For me anyways it is a lot easier to drive forward then it is to back up.
Same with my truck, although I consider myself good at backing up any trailer I own, box, dump, boat, landscape and snowmobile, I'm still more comfortable driving forward.
I always try to back into a slip but to back between 2 boats with little room to spare would create more of a chance for error then driving forward will.
