Author	Topic:   Nantucket 190 Trailering/Lauching/Hauling
Yiddil	posted 04-26-2004 08:01 PM ET (US)         Has anyone [trailered, launched, or hauled] a 190 Nantucket? What are you using for a tow Vehicle? Please describe how it went. Thanks

I am not sure what you mean by "hauled". If you mean loading the boat onto the trailer from the water on a ramp, I bet most have done that, too.
