Make sure you have the heavy duty tow bar with load leveller kit. Steer clear of the the transport department too.

Under the maritime collision regulations, the bigger the ship, the deeper the whistle sound. So yes, quite a loud horn ⚓️

You will have to spin her around. Ive seen no trailer boat mounted stern 1st on a trailer!!!!

might have to get your personal boat liscence too. buy the dvd and watch it. Then read the handbook 5 times over. Trick questions in the test.
