We run very early in the morning, also have a mate driving ahead stopping traffic at narrow points - my run is fairly rural so sometimes there's not a lot of room...........
A couple of walkie-talkies between the vehicles and your sorted, oh, and just hope you don't meet any uniformed people on the trip!

Did I talk to you in James watt marina last year per chance? I stopped to ask someone about a silver v8 range rover.
Just when I see you on the slipway on the forth...small world and all that. we could have had a fortune off you've been framed if they were videoing myself and last tango on that slip last year on 27th of december 2016. People watching us probably thought we got boats for christmas.
Long story short, my rib needed a 40ft bit of rope to launch there but last tango went on my boat and I drove the car. As soon as it came off the engine wouldn't start and couldn't trim engine down as hitting bottom...anchor out quick and I launch last tangos boat to recover my own...turns out the engine wasn't hitting the bottom, I forgot to take the trim stops out and the reason it wouldn't start was last tango forgot about the kill cord, it was hanging there dangling not plugged in...pair of eejits

What is the all up weight of the trailer and boat?

We left Edinburgh in Nov 16 so wasn’t me , but don’t worry I have done the same with ropes on that slip , absolute nightmare to launch from if you don’t want your truck in salt water as it’s so shallow an angle to launch , esp with the heavy well craft , salcombe is a breeze compared !!

Wow some big impressive rigs on here. Nice.
Scaling back somewhat here’s our little set up. No lights, straps etc as just a 300 metre tow from beach on mostly private land.

The bunks actually are pretty much in line with the end of the rear of the sponsons hard to see in the pic
Boat is perfectly balanced where it is makes for moving it a little easier
