<div>I like the ease of making the bar, but backing up a double trailer is
pretty difficult. They way they do it in the video is on the ramp,
chalking the tires and attaching a tow strap in case it started to roll down
the ramp. I currently have been launching my sub with a tow bar similar
to this from my parents yacht club. I think the long and the short of
it is the tow bar is a better option due to ease of construction and
the ability to make steeper ramps work.</div>
<div>Any idea on the size of metal tubing used for Dans design?</div>

<div>Actually Dan H's solution is telescoping as well, and I like it
better than mine, particularly if your trailer is already built as you
will not need to change it. See this video, starting at 0:38.</div>

<div>Hi Scott,</div>
<div>Have a look at the 3rd picture from the bottom here of Dan H's
trailer. Im going to make a very similar one out of a scaffolding
pole. Im not going to bother making it telescopic, just carry it
strapped to the trailer bed and attach it when needed.</div>

<div>If you use the telescoping idea, how big of square tubing do you
need to do a 20' stretch?</div>

<div><span>Hi Scott,</span></div>
<div><span>That is a question with no right answer. It totally
depends on your boat ramps. If I understand you, your choosing
between a extension pole between truck and trailer and a telescopic
reach. If your boat ramps have a sharp angle at the crest then a
telescopic reach may drag on the ground. I like the telescopic
reach idea because you can just pull a pin then drive ahead until the
reach is extended. Put the pin back in the new spot and your
away. If you have limited help that is the way to
go.</span></div>

<div>I am working on modifying my trailer so I can launch my sub
myself. I have 2 ideas. One is the conventional idea of havinga second
tounge extension trailer so I can get the length to launch the boat.
The second is to have a long touge that replaces the hitch and the
long tounge has a hitch on it? Any reccomendations?</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
