    Unusual set-up with the hauler at the stern? is it a local thing? ???
    wouldnt like to think i was hauling from the arse end on a transom sterned boat, certainly in no weather anyway!
    I know what you mean! im moving my hauler towards the stern myself on my own boat, but thats only coz i've taken the forward wheelhouse off and going back to open boat and tiller steering. This boat looks like its only controlled from wheelhouse! could be wrong but it would be hard to control when hauling??
    mybe the lawd is just working single,s , a would,ny see any trouble we that , but even fir shooting a fleet a expect he,d have shootin pin in front o that or maybe shoots af the port side, it certainly looks awkward ???
    Aye would be ok for singles right enuff, but would still have been easier to have the hauler further forward even just to have the hauler closer to the hydraulic pump on the engine. need long hoses where it is!
