    Loading a 2009 20 I Class

    Hey Guys
    Just wondering what other reference points other than"water just over the front
    step" ,depending on ramp incline of course, You use. When my Tournament partner/wife backs down she wants to use the " front step method"which works on our local ramps,But not all ramps are created equal. I could use some insight.
    Please Enlighten me. Thanks.

    the water over the front steps works good, but on steep er ramps, mine loads fine if i can barely see the tip of the outside(short) bunks,,,, hope this helps

    I have a 2010 20i. The best reference point for me is the center bunks, I like the front ends of the two center bunks to be about 2 feet out if the water. Since the bow is riding up these bunks, this is ultimately what matters. Regardless of the ramp steepness, if the two center bunks are two feet out of the water I'm good. Many times this ends up putting the front step just under the water, but not always.

    I have had problems with the winch post breaking. I started backing to wear there is a litte water on the center stp on the fenders. That works best for me.
