As the summer winds down, it’s a great time to get a deal on a boat. It’s also the perfect time to practice your boat-trailer towing and launching skills before you head out on to the lake for the first time next year. Towing a boat is a breeze as long as you adhere to safety regulations and know some basics of trailer hauling. You’ll also want to make sure you take a boater’s exam before you go out on the water.
