Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Any Lund Alaskan owners?

That’s pretty funny BK. I worked (I’m retired) with a surgeon originally from SE MN who is a very serious fisherman. He also told me the Minnesotans’ version of Iowans at the boat ramp. About the same as yours..😮 🙂

I have learned to get everything! ship-shape in the parking lot and even give a little extra slack to the securing strap — not too much as I have rollers. Get the trailer-fender water level to just float the boat, release strap and chain and push to end of the dock and secure. Don’t even start it. The docks where I do this are long enough that I don’t hold up traffic coming or going.

Dash up to the truck and get off the ramp to the lot.

On return, I don’t get the trailer quite as quite deep and run the boat up on the rollers just high enough that
it doesn’t slide off. Hook and winch a few turns and get it out to the lot where I reorganize.

The defense rests its case. 😀

Crossing the bridge at Chamberlain a couple years ago, on the west side there is a ramp on the north end of the bridge and there lay a very, very nice, bigger boat — in the higher 20’s I’m sure — scuttled on its side on the concrete ramp. Somebody had had a bad boat day..

There is no doubt two guys who know what they are doing get in and out about as fast an an Indy 500 pit stop.
