Launching ,without even getting your toes wet...

So, after spending so much money on a toy I can’t fathom only using it 3 months out of the year. I try to make Sea-Doo’n a year round sport, which is hard being in northern Nevada. It was 14° this morning. But if it’s sunny out and the wind isn't blowing, I’m only 4 miles from the lake that is as smooooth as glass. Get on the long john’s, coat and gloves and hit the lake. And with my new 2x6 cat walk I don’t even get my toes wet. Of course I don’t ride as aggressively as when it’s 80° out. But it’s still nice to be on the water. Especially when nobody else is.
Some may say I stole the idea from the Sea Doo iCATCH trailer. The main difference is there haven’t been any recalls on mine. It’s no wider than the stock trailer. The inside bumper rail is 2” solid foam rubber. It’s called “Backer Rod”. It is used between the logs when building log homes. No holes were drilled in the trailer, it’s all clamp-on.
P.S. Please note the new race number with the matching gold flames with red tips.

That is awesome! I'm right there with you my friend. I used to ride all the way into nov here. In fact, that's why i got the seadoo boat. It's small and nimble and almost as fun as a ski. But being able to stay dry and have music is a big plus. Now i go year round. Just give me a sunny day and at least 60f, and I'll be out there. Dressed in skiing gear but it is nice to be on the water
 
Nice job . I bet you could make a lot of money selling what you just made . I would give you 2 or 3 hundred no problem.

weird, but creative... I like it.

My wife perfected that a long time ago, she stands on the dock high & dry while I do all the "man stuff" and hops on when we're ready to go.
 
Looks familiar...

Uhm.....why not get a full suit...booties...hood...gloves....and don't sweat the cold?

Aside...I can launch my skis w/o getting wet by just pulling them off the trailers with a rope...tying off to the dock while parking trailer or what ever.

But if you're launching off the bank...in shallow water....you're pushing your luck firing that thing up to back off the trailer.
