marking the blots is a good idea. you should bring some rope. after seen the pictures above. you should secure it with enough slack so you won't slide down, incase you don't have enough traction.

good luck...

oyeah cant see the pictures.

Not sure what I would do with the rope...

Can anyone else see the pics? I uploaded them to my S2KI photo album, then used those links. I can see them fine...

Tie it to something ( your dad's truck ) if car starts to slide in with the boat. your dad can give you a little help.

:drum_roll: It worked just fine!

I have to admit that the car looks pretty damn funny pulling it, but it did much better than I could have hoped for. For the distance I need to pull it, a truck wouldn't be much better.

I did take a video of me pulling it out of the water, but I need some place to host it (1 MB). I didn't leave until after dark, so it isn't as good as the pictures. I also had to ask this weirdo fisherman guy to be my camera man, then listen to his UFO stories for 30 minutes.

To all you "nay sayers" ... go smoke a pole!

I'm not particularly interested in autocrossing while pulling the boat. I don't think there is a front sway bar stiff enough to overcome the oversteer that the boat would induce ... unless I could find one made out of kryptonite ... hmmm ...
