[Rhodes22-list] Single Handing Trailering

I have never needed to use the tongue extension, even on the shallow ramps
at Blackbeard SC.  Maybe because my truck drawbar is pretty high.  Or maybe
because I've always been motivated to launch quickly.

Mary Lou,
You must have a pretty steep ramp.  Even using the trailer extension,
the water touches the bottom of my rear bumper on my jeep. - rob

Before you go to all this effort, make sure you really need the 
trailer extension to launch. We used to launch with our Blazer 
without using the extension at all. We did have the tailpipe 
bubbling. Not sure if it hurt the Blazer but we got well over 100K 
miles on the first one before we sold it off. We sold the second at 
95K to buy a pick-up. When we launched this spring using the truck, 
it barely got wet. We'll see what retrieval is like.
