Patent No. 10,589,956) has forever defined the Straight-Line Launching method. In other words, no more limp and tangled ropes. Also, no more need to put yourself at risk of injury by jumping, climbing, balancing or bracing yourself on slick, wet, and dangerous ramps just to launch your watercraft. Dakota was born from the experiences of having high expectations for a fun day on the water and watching them turn to frustration - even disaster - at the launch ramp. Those unpredictable launch ramps are notorious for ruining boat outings before they begin. It's where no two days are the same, new boaters are mixing with experienced boaters, etiquette is expected but not defined, and where frustrations can run high. When you think about it, it's mind-boggling the exposure to injury (both to person & property) boaters experience at a boat ramp after all the TIME, all the ENERGY, and all the MONEY they've invested for a pleasurable day on the water. But now there is a way to alleviate the dangers, inconveniences, and wet clothes at the ramp. Now there is Dakota Boat Retriever! Learn more at: https://www.dakotaboatretriever.com/
