But be careful. I tried this once and the bow missed the v-notch and caused just the type of damage Daniel experienced.

The boat will snug up against the bow stop. You may need to repeat the process. Also if you have any trouble pulling her out, put a little dish soap on the bunks and keel support. You can always use an environmentally friendly product.
