I have loaded my PA from several docks and I never get water into the boat. I usually put the stern into the water first. That part of the boat has a lot of flotation and not much to get wet. Goes in pretty easy.... Chris |

I just wheel it out on the dock and remove the wheels and slide it in... no worries about sliding the hull on the wooden dock at all. |

I launch mine off the dock / bulkhead this way as well at my camp with no problems either. I do keep a bow rope on my front handle that I will use to lower and lift from that make things a lot easier. I also launch the back end first and have no water problems at all. Surprisingly easy! |
