Did you put your tail gate down so you could watch it? That changed everything for me learning to back a jon boat.Hahaha, that definitely makes me feel better. Reminds me of when I bought a jet ski a few years back. That short freaking trailer would get all out of sorts if you breathed heavy on the steering wheel. I felt like a complete moron trying to back that sucker up. That was part of the reason I should it with very few hours of use on it.
