Re: Must be mid late August at Loto
The rules state all boats must be launched on the boat ramp, not crained in. I'd like to see that boat launch off that trailer on the ramp, and more so the loading afterwards.

It can be flaoted on and off, the trailer will lie flat when needed. I feel sorry for them having to use those ramps, with no dock it will be tough getting it back on.

If you click on the picture you can see the large hydraulic rams used to tilt the trailer. Heck a couple of people with PWC's could nudge it back on in the calm waters at PB2.

It would be interesting to see a 50+ cat load on that trailer behind a semi, and then see it tilt afterwards.

Just assume the rule's still the same, but you're right about Augie.

Re: Must be mid late August at Loto
Your backyard not mine. I don't have a clue. I know tilt trailers can ramp launch. I am looking into a tilt trailer but the $85,000 price tag is keeping me from pulling the trigger. I thought I read that Miss Bud was allowed to run this year?
