Great day today!

Beautiful boat @MattFX4 ! Best of luck, maybe we'll meet up on the water sometime. If you ever want to check out Lake Thurmond we're only 2.5 hrs away.

I worried about winching too, I glide straight on in No Wake 1. Wherever I get seated thats where I stay, then hook the winch and pull it up (usually about 3'). To level out I look how the water is hitting the rear swim deck and hop around back there to level things out.

I had the same issues loading the boat on the trailer. I found that if I have the fenders just under the water it will help line the boat up. Also, I use the winch to pull the boat up to the roller. I don't want to power the boat on with all of the debris floating in the water just off the ramp. On another note, that's a really nice flag on the house. RTR!

Great looking boat! Congratulations and Roll Tide!

That certainly looks sharp - especially the picture on the water. That little guy will look back at these pictures someday and appreciate his boating interest origins. Boating = Memories!

@MattFX4 - two words: trailer guides!
Relatively cheap and the first thing I bought for the boat (wife made fun of me because they were delivered before boat...) based on past boating experience. I've found them particularly useful on a steep ramp. Plenty of discussions here https://jetboaters.net/search/3917687/?q=trailer+guides&o=relevance (VeVe guides seem the favourites and C.E. Smith a close second - I got the latter because they delivered faster, with lights on top.)
