You guys think I can launch a 342 with an '09 Chrysler Aspen? I'm not worried about pulling it out. More concerned about it pulling me in the river while backing down the ramp. Like I mentioned above, I have use of an F250 to go from winter storage to the marina.

Boat outweighs the vehicle by about 3,000#'s depends on how steep the ramp is I suppose. :Not something I'd try. party-smiley-004:

If the trailer had electric or electric over hydraulic you would have no worries.

I knew what you would say!!:)

just throw the boat in gear and ..... well your pretty brave.:eek:

Well it wont pull you all the way into the river :evilb: It should stop once the boat hits the water.

Kind of a controlled crash! Sounds like fun!:eek:

Looks like banks have their ass cheeks puckered any more. Credit isn't a problem. Down payment isn't a problem. It's loan values on boats these days. How can you tell me a clean low hour 2000 342 is only worth $30K? Won't even include options or trailer as part of the value. Looks like I'm getting a canoe!

Yea my boat is only KBB at 40k with 500efi's

If it were me I would look for a new bank. Mine is still loaning up to 90% of high book.
