What in praytell will they think of next!! I saw a photo the other day of a launching of a boat,millitary special forces, being pushed out the back of a C-17 and thought wow no thats the way to do it, no more lines at the ramp on weekends!

What's the fun in that gadget? Half the fun is to show how it's done for all the idiots clogging the ramp.
More gadgets more things to go wrong.
Can't you just see that depth gauge thing velcoed to the trailer tongue floating off or easily being lost to the highway. Dough!
The thing had a girlie little ladder too! I prefer the peril I endure balancing on top of the winch each time.
What next? Some Costco provided 3D VR goggles so we don't even have to get the boat wet. Just sit in the drive way and take it to any port of call.
Sorry to be the pill but that's not Whaler issue in my opinion ---- too girlie by far.
Launching the Dauntless out of a cargo plane - Yea baby! The kids even say they're in!

Might come in handy for some older folks who are still wanting to go boating and have a hard time I thought.

I lack one important requirement, driver for the tow vechicle, I launch by myself, so i still have to wade, neat gadget though.
