I think there are a few definitions of power loading floating around here.
Hardly putting the bunks in the water then using every horse to get the boat on the trailer? Yeah, that's pretty lame.
A gentle push up to the winch or use of momentum to get there and then shut down? I've got no issue with. I wish more people did this. The yahoos who unspool the winch and crank it back in are amusing and entertaining to watch.
Yeah when I mentioned power loading I was referring to the first one, and it's even more annoying when they do it right by the sign that says no power loading. |

Location: MN | If you are going full speed towards a boat and all three guys on that boat are screaming and waving both arms they are not trying to wave hello, they are trying to alert you that you are about to run over their trolling boards and take out $100's in equipment. Ahhh the joys of fishing Vermillion. |

| People annoy me easily, but I've been gifted with patience and sense of humor for morons. The boat launch is a trigger for people, and we should all lower our expectations. I was a master of solo launching, and I'm super conscientious so that things go well at an expectedly tense place. Men are notoriously all "right", so I'd suggest some humility and drop the pride. Be the better man, which is not defined as being always "right".
Boat should be loaded, prepped, and streamlined to launch/load, then get out of the way so others can mess it up anyway.
Pointer, what was your major in college because sometimes you are a major pain in the... take that with the humor in which I wrote it please. |
