Hell pretty well all the pros get pulled out without hooking the strap. The problem is when going down the road and that boat starts to bounce backwards off the trailer.
Now with a tin rig you DO NOT want to get anywhere near an incline without hooking the nose strap. I had already been warned about it on here in the tin boats forum but when I pulled up to the ramp for the first time with my brand new Tracker the guy in the office came out and told me how easy Trackers slide off the trailer and to never go in or out of the water without the nose hooked. He knew my launch habits so just watching my back.

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.
Think he needs to back further towards the ramp before attempting a high speed power load... didn't quite make it.

Yes he could have but I was referring to the post I quoted where he was talking about people who do it on purpose.
C'mon BBC, let the conspiracy theories fly ... it was an act of sabotage perpetrated by male Russian NFL cheerleaders who were paid by Hill & Billary
Ranting incoherently
It doesn't take two seconds for the tow vehicle driver to put the truck in park set the E brake, when the boat hits the bow roller snap on the bow hook and tighten the winch and get back in the truck and pull out while the boat driver shuts the outboard down and tilts it up. yep pure lazy.
now you gotta drag her back on......keel guard all the way.
At least he doesn't have to worry about hull blisters now.
It's the awesome power of that toyota, it snatched that trailer right out from under the boat.
