I only use my side mirrors, never look over my shoulder.

You probably knew all of the above, but I thought I'd opine
Thanks Paul. In my blue collar days I did a lot with trailers, so learning to back them was a must. I had a 4x8 utility trailer that put many a scrape on my truck bumper before I mastered it.

The wife did pretty well with her first boat driving experience, she docked it and ran it up on the trailer when we were done. After some arguing I think we have our coordination sorted out.
