It's great. It doesn't get much easier and is really the next best thing to having the boat on a lift at the dock. We just let them know that we want to go in the water and by the time we get the props on and the plugs in, they are ready for us. When we come back in all we have to do is let them know that we want to come out and they are right on it.
On top of the in-and-out service, the marina also has a store, a pool, a full restaurant and fuel all right there. It makes for a great seup, all right there just inside the inlet.

I have towed with both and really liked the tandem dual set up. The only problem I had was if the oil bath axles are not sealed, water gets in the oil when you dunk it. It then becomes a big pain in the a$$. You can make some home made "condoms" to keep the water out, or just seal the hubs.
On one trailer we disassembled the axles packed the entire cavity with grease.

No, not yet. The boat is at home on the trailer in preparation for the trip to Key West, but I can't try it behind the 450 because the trailer rubs the top of the pickup bed. I tried it empty and there is not enough space between the top of the bed sides and the rails on the trailer. I watched it going out of my driveway and just the crown on the road made the two touch each other. I will have to either raise the whole trailer or change to a hauler bed to make it work correctly. So until I decide what I want to do (if anything), the Pete is staying.
