I used to fish the Arkansas river navigation system in Gore OK a lot.
I used a canoe for many years then bought an old Bayliner closed bow from my mom after dad died.
The river would sometimes be flowing quit well and I had to come onto my trailer from the side and drift over the trailer.
I put a side board on the side I was drifting into and I could then be held in place and hook the front up to the winch anddrive right out with it on the trailer.
Some of the old guys smiled at me knowing I out smarted the river.
Other boaters would have one in the boat one in the water and one in the vehicle to get it done.
Gotta love it when the flood gates are open.
I still have that 1975 bayliner. but the wife likes the Pontoon boat better.
