Powerloading costs the DNR/Sportsman a lot of money to repair ramps. Just ask Michigan, they ban powerloading and some would like to do that in Indiana. Sportsman find a way to load their boats in Michigan just fine. Be considerate of other users and don't powerload. No one wants to lose their axle on the ramp because someone else washed the end of the ramp out powerloading. Not to mention the mountain of rock that builds up behind the ramp from powerloading. It is a little hard on props and lower units.
im glad you have a BASS boat...they arent all the same. if you have a 180 like your name, thats about the size of my other boat, which i can load with no motor period. my other boat however, requires me to leave the trailer out of the water a bit more than id like due to ramp angles versus the water versus the front roller.
