Been doing the lifting, sliding transfer thing for far too long. Time for the upgrade plus most of my compatriots have the fancy 4 stroke couches weighing upwards of 850/950 lbs, my VXR is probably the lightest (732lbs) of the 4 strokes in our little band of misfits.
I too have seen a brand new, first maiden voyage 3 seater, s-c 4 stroke Kawi on a landing ramp just feet shy of the water cuz the "new owner" just HAD too use that silicone so as to make launch "turn key" easy" & w/o complication... SMACK! Yeah, cherry got popped in short order.
