Stern docking

I used to dock a 22-foot boat bow in only because I didn''t want my outboard coming in contact with the dock at high tide. I now have a 35-foot boat that I always dock stern in. I do this primarily because it is much easier to board and load the boat, and hook up to shore power. However, I also do it because it is more difficult than docking bow in; it tests my skills more and thus gives me more satisfaction when I do it well. I agree with Eric--docking a 19-foot boat stern in should be easy.
