Thanks, she's definitely a keeper. In related news, my son and his wife are expecting in February. Life is grand!

One more safety step (better late than never) I use on my boat is to use one of my dock lines to secure the bow to the trailer. Attach the dock line to the bow eye using the loop in the rope. Next, loop the tag end under the trailer frame then back up through the bow eye. Repeat until most of the dock line is taken up. Snug it as you go along and tie it off. This stops the bow from bouncing up and down. The winch strap will hold it tight to the winch post but not stop the bouncing. I wish I had a pic of what I'm trying to describe but I never considered that a pic worthy before.

I understand - I think that would have saved me this time around.
