Well it certainly does remove the difficulty of docking a v-drive.. I think the deal on the back looks like an afterthought though.

Yes looks like a bolt on, but effective

Pretty cool feature! Not sure how similar it is but Nautique charges around $10k for their dock assist option.

Always a good day with one less rollbar boat on the water...no worries...nobody died....nobody got hurt. Just a turd sinking and blocking the ramp, as usual.

Thanks for the heads up from the surf boat yesterday just south of the Keys. It was glass and we were on way back up river from the Casino. I noticed the flag on 6' pole being waved. I could barely see the boat with the waves behind it. I slowed down to almost off plane before hitting the 6' wave. I would launched like Scott the day before Sundance if I would of not for your 6' flag.

I hope you got the name of that said boat, cause I'm ready to make a purchase if it throws a 6' wave.

Looked like a Nautique around 25' there was 2 out 1 surfing. Looked like fun was a open area. Maybe it was a 5' handle with flag on top and a midget but you could not see surfer at all.
