Our Sea Ray 268 goes in for the first time!

Good for you guys... looked like you had fun!

For the bow eye issue... I would have backed in a bit more and the eye would have floated over the bow stop.

Thanks for sharing!

The ramp starts with a shallow approach that is usually dry with regular water depth. The trailer was at the section where the water usually would just be starting. The truck was already in 1 1/2 feet of water and still held the bow up.
If the ramp was the same steep angle we would have been ok. Basically the truck was close to level, the trailer was uphill.
I didnt want to submerge the trucks differential. She was already starting to dip the hubs and bottom of the pumpkin.
It didn't help when Matt went for the line the boat kicked sideways and wedged on the rollers and couldn't be pulled back.
I was dead serious when I said we never had such issues. But I guess it made a fun video either way.

In most counties in Wisconsin if you buy the 91 octane at the pump it is non ethanol gas. The marina we were at has it too but 89 octane.
The only vehicle we put anything other than non ethanol is my 1985 Honda Goldwing. We jetted the carbs to take the ethanol. I must be able to fuel her anyplace as I do take it out of state.
