Nice Mike. We did good earlier. Three man limit. 14 coho and 1 king. Off lake by 9:30. Two doubles & one triple. What a blast!!!


That is a nice board Steve. I just love your ocean pro. Is it easy to tow and launch? It is the boat to own.

Hey Don. Very easy to tow & launch. I have done it by myself many times.

I am sure there is going to be a bit of a learning curve I am going to have to negotiate when I start using the searunner. I have never had a dual axle trailer under a boat, is there any tips or thoughts you can "coach" me up on? I am sure there are others who have not used them before and they would benefit also. Backing and turning has got to be different.

I am terrible at backing up my single axle trailer. I'm equally as terrible backing up Bills double axle.

I was/am hoping the backing thing might be a little easier. I thought the trailer would be a little slower to react. I tended to over steer my last rig some. I would have to take a couple of shots at the ramp on occasion . I had a 17 foot sea nymph that set low on the trailer and I could see the engine when backing. It was a breeze, never no do overs. There is no way I will see the engine on this new rig either. Sounds like some practice will be in order.

I have a couple trailers, both single and double axle. I find it much easier to back up the double.
