Thx all, went out with my new 20' CC boat this weekend to do the break in, went early before the crowd, launching was easy....my son (13) was nervous as this was alot heavier then our tin boat, he did great!

On our way in, I powered onto the trailer, worked out great, still have to find the sweet spot, but I was close for the first time!

Appreciate all the help!

If you can launch and retrieve a light aluminum boat, a 20' boat should be no problem at all. I'll take loading my 18' CC any day over the 15 aluminum jon boat, the small ones just seem to get blown around a whole lot more to me.

Sorry I came across the wrong way on my first post,,,,,,but here in Charleston we have a 6' tide sometimes and the current rips through there!.

When you approach your trailer you need to have some speed to compensate for the current.

We also have LONG concrete ramps because of that. Every body here has to do it to get there boat on the trailer. The ones who dont, take a LONG time to get out of the way.

We have a BIG,BIG, problem with our overpopulated boat ramps on the weekend.

Just to let you know, the county has NOT built a new ramp here in Charleston,SC in over "40" years!,,,Yes, thats right "40" years!

It sucks out loud!!!!!

I have been to the ramp by the bridge and it gets very busy. I try to keep by boat in the water if I can for our stay. I would be willing to pay$5 or so, if the money went to fix the ramp.

Due to my pulpit I have to power on more than I would like. If I drop the trailer in too low the pulpit hits the wench stand. Too high and I have to be flying to get it even close to the stop. Boat is too heavy to wench up more than a foot or two.
