Hey Westin, I noticed you have the RT189. I have a 179c with a 60 on the back. What horsepower is on your boat? I would assume the 115. Does it plane out well? Think I will upgrade to the boat you have, thanks!

Very cool! That boat is so sweet.

[@WestinSmith]

Thank you!

[@JeepersCreepers2013]

The whole time she's approaching that trailer I was saying "trim it up, trim it up!". Everyone does that kind of stuff... either in a hurry or just new. You can also lift the front of the boat over the trailer runners and let it settle down if the motor is trimmed up sometimes if you're off center. Great video... we all learn and we all learn the hard way sometimes. And that skeg is fine... you're going to do worse than that just running around the lake.

[@visualkeirockstar]

That's a better trailer than the one I have for my Crestliner. Mine only has two long bunks and are fairly far separated so it doesn't line up well when I try to get the bow onto the bow roller.

[@dhooter]

Tip from experience. Keep your big motor down all the way while using the trolling motor. Wind won't blow u around so much and way easier to maneuver. Stern won't blow around on ya

[@TheRealFireTurtle75]

At 5:50 Hahahah!!! Thanks for the laugh Devin! Just spit hard cider all over the place. Maybe I shouldn't be drinkin & youtubing... LOL On the skeg, that's not really gonna hurt anything since it's pretty minor. Maybe tape it off & hit it with some matching spray paint to protect the metal, but other than that, those are always going to end up looking rough from bumping stumps, logs or just a scrape on shallo shorelines, etc. Give it a full send. And she did a great job bringing the boat in for the first time ever in a strong crosswind.

[@WestinSmith]

Hahahahahaha !!! Yeah we got lucky it wasn’t worse! Thanks man

[@TheRealFireTurtle75]

@@WestinSmith For loading your first time, fighting the wind & trying to beat the incoming storm, it's easy to overlook something in a situation like that. Looking forward to the next time you get to take it out too!

[@ProvoDrive]

You got that over and done with, your first ding!! Devon did a good job for her first time loading onto the trailer. Wow the wind was wicked. Find a little windsock just for loading on windy days. It will help you and give us viewers an idea how bad it is. It’s cool that you can mount a trolling motor on the bow or stern of your yaks! I too would add one to the bow.

[@WestinSmith]

Thanks man! Successful day for sure! We may try the yak ones

Looks like I'm about 2 years late to the party here but regardless, if I didn't know better, I'd say you guys were fishing Lake Crockett. If so, that can sometimes be a squirrelly boat ramp to load a boat, even for long-time boat drivers, regardless of the conditions.

[@JollyGreen79]

Happens to the best of us man! I actually just did that myself for the first time in over 30 years of running boats the other day. Similar situation. Weather and wind coming in and everybody headed in. Got to the dock, tied up and killed the engine. Right when I went to raise the outdrive and go get the truck, another boater's engine died as he was waiting to come in. I was about to push back off the dock and go assist. Thankfully he got his motor fired back up but my routine was disrupted. Pulled the boat out, slowly as usual and felt my skeg hit the ramp before I heard it. However, just like you did, I stopped immediately as soon as I heard it, felt it and my buddy started yelling STOP!!! Drug my skeg about 6". Thankfully it came free easily and didn't have any damage. But I also have a stainless steel skeg guard. Little tip. I generally put my boat on the trailer by hand, especially in shit weather. Eliminates a lot of opportunities for Murphy's Law. That and once you get a system down, you'll be faster by hand. I can get my boat on the trailer and pulled out faster by hand than folks who drive on their trailers. I always get it on right the first time too. Give it a shot.

[@NFFishing1]

I wouldn't even worry about it get it fixed this winter bud. Its gonna get scraped up even while you fish. You all did a pretty good job for first time boat owners!

Its happen to my boat multiple time no worries it will be fine there made tough sand paper liitle paint never know it happen your in good shape buddy

[@justinmitchell1445]

As long as it isn't bent, I wouldn't worry about it. Boats gets scratches and dings if you use them. It happens.

[@gregsmith3623]

It happens to almost every first timer, you can buy a skag at bass pro, you have to drill a couple of holes that you put Allen Head conectors in that hold the skag in place.its not very expensive plus its crome.

[@jefferyholland]

If my skeg looked like that I would be thrilled. Everyone does that at least once when loading, usually you think it is trimmed up enough but it isn't and you don't know until you pull up.

[@WestinSmith]

Haha I guess we’re just getting things figured out 🤘🏼😂

[@benny_gebs_fishing]

A few tips: for Devin set the hook up so you will have an easier time pulling bass out of the weeds. Invest in a skeg guard and a keel protector as well. Minor things that get damaged all the time! Megaware has some awesome keel protectors as well as skeg guards.

[@stanleyshelby7460]

Hey dude, nice to see you finally breaking it out, no pun intended. I whacked my skeg 4 times last year, what you did was just a slight kiss. Unless it is bent, which is highly unlikely, that is a super easy fix! A little JB Weld and a fine file or angle grinder and that thing will be good as new. Seriously, it is so EASY. Pick up a spray can of Tremclad, colour match it and you'll never notice it was ever damaged. I took off almost a third of the skeg on one outing, but unless I told you, there's no way you can tell. Looking forward to your new content, keep it up. BTW, Devin has an awesome smile!! You guys rock.
