Sizing guide
Which Tidle suits your boat?
Two questions sort it out: how many craft are you tying up, and how much do you want to spend on the finish.
One boat or two?
If you're running one boat, a straight Launch dock is the one. It gives you a dry, stable place to step on and off, load the esky and the kids, and tie up while you're on the bank.
If you're running two craft, say the family boat and a jet ski, or two jet skis, the Harbour Y 8.5 is built for it. The Y gives you a berth on each side, so both can tie up without rafting against each other.
How much room do you want on the dock?
The Launch 3 Core is the compact option: enough for a quick launch and retrieve. The Launch 4 Grain adds a metre, which is the difference between a step-off point and somewhere you'll actually sit with your feet in the water.
Quick picks

| Two craft and you want the best on the lake | Harbour Y 8.5 Grain | $2,199 |
Storage and transport
Every Tidle deflates and rolls into a carry bag. The Launch docks are an easy fit in the ute tray beside the esky. The Harbour Y is a bigger roll, so it's worth checking your tray or boot space before you buy. Ask True Gear for the packed size if you're tight on room.
