MOST of the time, I can easily launch and retrieve my boat without the truck tires getting wet. But When launching primarily at Kitty and Point Holmes there are some tides where avoiding it simply not possible. (For instance at Kitty a 1.7-2.0 tide requires me getting tires wet to pull boat out of the water. Can usually get it off the trailer though.
Now yes, I could plan tides differently, or launch elsewhere etc. BUT, adding 36" to my tongue would also solve the problem the vast majority of the time.
So my question: Anyone else use an extension for this purpose? Do you love/hate it? I am on the fence....
(I also do realize that this will impact things like my tongue weight limits etc, but the boat is light enough that this is simply a moot point in this case.)
