we have recently started towing the boat and it is not half as bad as i was thinking it would be, i wondered if anyone with a similar set up knows of the best size friendly slips they have used around the south of england.

cheers

Hugh

thanks for the reply, ours is 6.7m and the whole outfit is a little short of 18m, is your outfit over 18m?

All you need is a long length of rope for solo launching. As a diving instructor we used our boat a lot and never had an issue launching or recovering if the slipway is shallow use the rope and dont get the m/h (or RV in my case) wet.

i may just be able to help you out there, i have a quicksilver 340 airdeck which is one of the best sibs, a yam 15hp engine, fuel tank and launching wheels that are the best you can buy, everything is tip top condition and i am considering selling for Ģ1750, i think the engine alone is around 1450! boat is 900-1000, wheels are 140 so quite a bargain!
