Unpopular opinion:

The best boaters aren't the ones with the biggest boats.

They're the ones who:
✓ Prepare before getting in line
✓ Help when needed
✓ Respect no-wake zones
✓ Keep the courtesy dock moving
✓ Leave the ramp cleaner than they found it

A little courtesy goes a long way.

The alarm goes off early.

You grab a cup of coffee, hook up the boat, and head to the lake before most people are even awake.

The best days on the water don't happen by accident,they start with a little preparation.

Before your next launch, take a few minutes to check your trailer, bunks, batteries, safety gear, and equipment. A quick inspection now can help avoid problems later and keep your focus where it belongs: on the water.

We've put together our Ultimate Boat Launch Checklist for Summer 2026 to help you get the most out of every trip.

The Most Overlooked Part of Your Boat Trailer

Everyone checks their tires.

Everyone checks their lights.

Everyone checks their winch strap.

But when was the last time you looked at the surface your boat actually sits on?

Your trailer bunks are in contact with your hull every single time you load and unload. If they're holding sand, debris, moisture, or worn-out carpet, they could be causing wear you don't even realize is happening.

The next time you're at the ramp, take a closer look.

Your bunks may be telling you it's time for an upgrade.

Carpet Holds More Than You Think

Here's a question: After loading your boat, how much water is still trapped in your carpeted bunks?

Most boat owners never think about it.

But wet carpet can hold water, trap debris, and stay damp long after you've left the lake. That means more mess, more maintenance, and more unwanted contact between your hull and whatever is hiding in that carpet.

That's one reason more boat owners are making the switch to synthetic bunk covers.

Less maintenance.
Less water retention.
Less hassle.
