Is that electric only? How far in the water do you need to go to get the boat off the trailer?It is 10 horsepower maximum, when the water is this low you have to drive down into the reservoir to launch, very easy to do and very flat, i launch a 16 foot bass boat with no problem, don't have to pull out too far, when water is up to normal in spring you launch at end of the paved road, extreemely easy.
