Yeah I guess if you have plenty of money and nothing better to spend it on why not?
I would have thought he would have done the "reverse fast....slam on brakes" a bit earlier though...(;-0). I have done that with the tinnie on a trailer. Personally I couldn't afford to keep the fuel up to that rig let alone buy one. (:-((
Make sure boat is untied first...lol

I saw a guy do that and the boat dropped off the trailer 6 foot short of the
water :-(

And the motor leg up! I watched someone launch at
Inskip Point reversed quickly, slammed the brakes to shoot the boat into the
water. The plan was good but the leg was down and it dug in lifting the boat which then came down hard on the trailer.
Kind regards
