We went all the way up to a 38' Scarab when we moved to Florida. Now he has a 21' Ranger. I really wish there was a show like yours back when my Son started.

IF one puts their hand at the bottom of the vehicle steering wheel, then while backing, they may move their hand in the direction that they want the boat/trailer to go. Slow and steady wins the race. Once in straight, back trailer until top of fenders are at surface of water, but in every case... some part of the bunks should be above the water to ride up onto and center the boat without floating. I used to launch and retrieve in the Mississippi River, perpendicular to the current. That required crabbing onto the trailer at a controlled speed.

The wealthy guy was generous to you and your family by taking you out on his boat for a few weeks and this is how you repay him by back biting him decades later? His generosity to YOU and your poor dad is repulsive to you? If a man or woman earns their money honestly and pay their taxes ,I dont see how you can be repulsed by their wealth.
