These Alaskans don't fool around when they load a boat on a trailer. (I'da been gettin' my chicken-shit ass out from between the boat and the truck!)
Reminds me of a certain time loading TW's boat (I miss him) ... maybe we just didn't use enough throttle!

Looked perfect to me!!!!
Possibly Johnboy was driving and he had to hurry because it was full of water!!!!

Lots of safety violations going on there.

Done it that way for years, never quiet that fast, but once it's lined up you goose it a little and loads right up.
The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me
The other thing you don't see, is they are probably loading on a beach and are backed out hooked to a log skidder - maybe a couple hundred yards or more.. You're at the mercy of the tides..
This is what it looks like from the boat. Those trees you see are the shoreline.
If you turn a dog loose to hunt – you’d better to be ready to deal with what he trees.
Power loading. Did it all the time but never that fast and never a boat that size. The guys standing in the water have obviously done this before. Fast hook up and no slide back. Fished a walleye tourney once with TW (Lake Diefenbaker, Sask) where they had the same set up to get the boats in and out fast. Back the trailer down a long ass ramp (me), power the boat on (TW), they hooked up and away you went. Only took seconds per boat on both sides of the ramp.
Its not too smart to hop on the trailer tongue and ride it up the ramp though. The guy in the truck can't hear shit and if your foot slips off that tongue there's a good chance you're gonna get your smart self runned over.
