I have never loaded a jet boat on a trailer. I have have boats in the past but never a jet boat. Are there any differences between loading a prop boat vrs a jet boat. I am taking my boat out of the water tomorrow and just would like any tips or tricks.

Some times they fly between the girls and the trailer while they are lining up.. That gives them sour attitudes.:)

There are differences of the low speed handling between a jet and a prop. My neighbor (a prop guy) has trailered and retrieved my boat twice and has always made the mental/mechanical adjustments w/out issues.
