Narrow trailers just require a bit more finesse.. It's really not hard, just slow the thought process down, slow the reactions down, and wiggle a bit.
The wiggle is just a means of seeing the trailer as you back down, and especially as it enters the water (so that you're fairly square with the ramp, which really isn't that critical with PWC's).
Truth be told, if I saw someone putting a boat in with a forward hitch, I'd be the one saying something. Like go practice and learn to do it the right way then come back. I can't even imagine the mess the delay would cause at some of the ramps we go to; hooking, un-hooking, driving the wrong way. What a circus that would be. Yep, I'd be the one saying something. I'm a patient man, but I have very little available for others laziness to learn correctly. Everyone's got there reasons, but lack of practice is not a good excuse.
